You could definitely ask to try to get USGBC to clarify, but I have not seen a more comprehensive list. This is how I would interpret the list....I don't see "hotel" as an option, there is only "hotel or motel room". So I would classify the breakfast bar as Retail. If the guest laundry is interior to a "hotel or motel room", then the laundry to hotel room demising wall would need an STC 60 even if it's technically laundry room to laundry room.
