In somehotels, guests can orderfood, anddrinks, to be delivered to their room. This is calledroom service. Sometimes, room service is also offered oncruise ships. Depending on the hotel, the service may be offered at any time of the day, or the hours when the service is offered are limited. Lower-priced hotels, andmotels usually do not offer room service.
