Explanation:

- Merchant: The word is used correctly. It refers to a person involved in trade or commerce, fitting the context.

- Tidying: Properly used, meaning to clean up or make oneself neat, which is sensible in the context after having breakfast.

- Downstairs: Correctly used, indicating movement to a lower floor, which fits the scenario.

- Cruel: This word seems contextually incorrect. If the host provided a good breakfast, using "cruel" doesn't fit without additional context that explains why the host is cruel.

- All words seem correctly used apart from "cruel."

Thus, the word "cruel" appears to be the incorrect contextual choice.
