Although I've traveled a fair bit over the years, I can't recall a time in which I've ever ordered room service.
After all, I would think that many of us know the game by now. It may be more convenient to get a meal sent up to your room, but doing so usually sets us back a lot more than we're willing to pay.
But even when we know that, that doesn't mean it's beyond the capability of some hotels out there to shock us. Because even if they're not misrepresenting themselves online, they're still finding ways to gouge us for more than even the most jaded traveler would expect.
But while the most extreme examples of overcharging are often the result of a mistake, one case that has inspired some viral outrage shows that this can happen when everything is working as intended.
