Could prove difficult when paying for goods after you've used or consumed
them - e.g. restaurant or hotel bills.

Seems to me you consumed goods based on the price they represented, then
suddenly at payment time they decided they wanted to change the price. I'd
guess you'd be within your rights to stand firm on the price they initially
told you you'd have to pay, sans unwanted double-conversion markup.

Exactly. Its not much different than if you were paying by cash. If
the bill came and they asked you to pay in some currency other than
the local one the menu prices were quoted in, you would be entitled to
refuse.
