Selected answer:afternoon romp in a king-sized bed = sexual service
Explanation:
Here is a description of a full service hotel:

"Using the AAA classification of a Hotel as a full service lodging type with the following definition:

"Usually high-rise establishments, offering a full range of on-premises food and beverage service, cocktail lounge, entertainment, conference facilities, shops and recreational activies. Wide range of services provided by uniformed staff on duty 24 hours. Parking arrangements vary." "

I think in the case of your sentence, the "afternoon romp in a king-sized bed" ironically points at some kind of extended sexual service.

Hope this helps

full-service hotel


Explanation:
It usually means full board, room service, laundry, etc. - depending on the actual hotel. The quotation marks do not indicate very precise formulation. According to the context, there are some extras in this particular hotel - or should it be called a whortel, perhaps?
