Am I expected to tip for room service on top of the Service and delivery fee?

In general if there is a “Service Fee”, then this is the same thing as a tip. This is not the same as a “Room Service Fee”, which is NOT the same as a tip.
Generally a “service fee” will be a percentage of the total, normally around 15-20%, whereas the “Room Service Fee” (sometimes referred to as a plate fee, a tray fee, delivery fee or something similar) is normally a fixed fee in the $3-6 range.
Frequently the room service menu will actually describe the various fees, and will include details such as that the service fee is “distributed to the staff”, or similar – which is your indication that it is a tip.
Normally there will still be a line on the receipt for an additional tip. This is NOT mandatory, and is generally NOT expected. If the server has done something extraordinary for you then you have the option to add an additional tip.
