"Room Service" is the eighth mission of the The Ronin story arc in Saints Row 2.

Explosions rock downtown

— Stilwater Gazette newspaper headline

Overview[]

As Playa, Johnny Gat and Pierce plan their next move to stop The Ronin, Dane Vogel, the CEO of Ultor, sets foot inside Saints Hideout to tell the 3rd Street Saints that they recently terminated their partnership with The Ronin. Seeking to manipulate the gangs against each other, Vogel tips off the Saints regarding where Kazuo and Shogo Akuji are hiding out. Playa and Gat leave for the hotel, though not without Pierce staying behind to watch over Vogel in case if it is a trap.^[1]

Playa and Gat return after destroying the hotel (though The Ronin leaders are absent during the attack) and allow Vogel to leave. Just as he does, however, Playa pulls him to one side and asks why Ultor went to The Ronin and not the 3rd Street Saints; Vogel simply replies, "You were in a coma and we couldn't find Julius... timing is everything" before departing. Among the wreckage of the hotel, a shamed Kazuo notes to Shogo how his son continues to disappoint him.^[2]

Story[]

Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available at Newspaper Clipboards.

Citizens were shocked as a downtown hotel was rocked by explosions earlier today. Witnesses report seeing Ronin and Saints fighting inside the hotel before the explosions began. Claims of an individual base jumping from the top floor of the hotel into the atrium have yet to be confirmed.

Gameplay[]

Head to the Ronin hotel

After driving downtown to the Tohoku Towers hotel, enter it.

Kill the Ronin on the ground floor

Kill all five of The Ronin in the atrium alongside Johnny Gat.

Get to the elevator

Take an elevator up and Gat ceases being a Homie. A few 3rd Street Saints members can be found near the hotel who can be recruited.

Place the bombs one floor at a time

Once at the top, seven bombs must be set in different areas and floors of the hotel. After setting the first bomb, a four-minute timer starts counting down. Run from marker to marker, setting the bombs and killing any enemies in the way.

Move to the next floor

On the final floor, be aware of a Ronin equipped with an RPG Launcher near the marker.

Head to the suite and kill the Ronin Lieutenants

After the seventh bomb has been planted, head inside the suite nearby and kill the six Ronin lieutenants.

Climb the rail and base jump into the atrium

Jump the rail outside the suite and BASE jump down to the atrium. If no fall damage has been unlocked in the Base Jumping Diversion, it is possible to simply fall down to the atrium without opening the parachute.

Trivia[]

Newspaper rn08 Room Service — The Stilwater Gazette newspaper clipping from completion screen and Newspaper Clipboard.

Dex's fate is revealed in this mission; Dane Vogel offered him a job at Ultor prior to the events of Saints Row 2. More information can be found on him while starting the bonus mission "Revelation".
The game data files define an extra section to this mission; originally the player would have had to visit an arms dealer to buy the bombs used in the hotel. This arms dealer had a unique "Arms Dealer" variant of the Phoenix vehicle.
As with the previous mission, "Visiting Hours", the map can be confusing during this mission as it shows enemies on all floors of the hotel rather than just those on the current floor, thus showing enemies that aren't there.
