Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking hotels the phrase “servicio a la habitación” is more common than “servicio de habitaciones”. The service may be limited to certain hours or to a menu of snacks rather than a full restaurant. When speaking to hotel staff, a polite tone (using ‘por favor’ or ‘disculpe’) is appreciated, especially in more formal establishments.
