Are room service and concierge service synonymous?

no

Yes I would expect to pay for room service

I always expect to pay for my food when I order room service. Are you referring to some additional service charge?

Now, take in mind, I fully expect to pay for the food/and or drink ordered with a generous tip, but I’m more talking about even having the availability of the room service without having to pay an extra $1000.

To me, concierge is the desk that would handle reservations, booking shows, helping guests find places to go, etc. Room cleaning seems like it would be standard for staying anywhere. Although I do put up my Do Not Disturb when I travel.

Still - I haven’t been anywhere TOO insanely expensive, but I’ve stayed in a few Waldorf Astoria hotels and always received room service.

Ain’t it funny how the expensive places charge for everything that’s free at lower tier hotels?

EDIT - Room service is never free, but I thought you meant room cleaning.

You in Winnipeg?

So let’s get something straight, they’re charging you $1,000 to use this “concierge service” in order to use room service?

That is correct. Or, at least, that’s what they’re trying to get me to pay in order to have the ability to utilize room service.

Sounds like a miscommunication.
Just order Uber eats and have the concierge bring it up to your room.

You’re a cheap arse
