Hotel Resort Fees the Ripoffs Continue
In an earlier post I wrote about the outrageous “resort fees that hotels levy on their guests. Last week 20/20 did a story on this where the reporter checked into a $450.00 resort in Arizona. when he complained about the charge the front desk cleark like a robot told him how it was a mandatory charge , blah,blah blah. I get the feeeling that this comes up on a daily basis at many of these places. One hotel agreed to take off the charges but most stand firm. They don’t care whether you use “the amentities” or not. Many hotels are charging for parking. Even hotels outside major cities are trying to charge for parking. I suggest everyone to complain about these fees anyway. At some point they will get the message that customers are unhappy. To pay $450.00 and get a resort fee of $25.00 is totally ridiculous. Soetimes I am suprised to see lower priced hotels offer the little things that the expensive hotels try to capitalize on.
