excessively loud missing utensils

the room service provides an extensive menu with many choices available.

The music from a nearby disco was excessively loud at night and this prevented sleep. also, utensils were missing when my meal came. It required considerable effort to obtain cutlery. i find that to be completely unacceptable.
