Seems today, more and more hotels are looking for ways to add BS fees. Lately it is “Parking” which by the way is a parking lot, not parking garage. There is no Security, just the fee. Then if you’re not a Hotel Rewards member the water is $2.00 – $5.00 per and you definitely need it for the disgustingly dirty Coffee maker in the room (Using the “Salt Conditioned” tap water is gross for making coffee)
There is no more all night coffee in the lobby of most hotels. As mentioned the Coffee machines in the rooms are cleaned only when requested or when a new one is placed in a room. Always fun when housekeeping leaves “Pods” for a Filter machine or Vice -a -Versa. Last week was the Keurig that took all my water and just kept saying “Add Water” It never made coffee.
Internet and Resort Fees are all the Rage and just another BS charge. Internet is the cost of doing business in this writer’s opinion. Hotels can’t run their operations without Cloud / Internet access. Spread it to the guests. Resort Fees, what are those? The Pool? Having a pool does not make you a Resort. Yes, I understand it’s 2024, almost 2025 and greed makes the world go round. Keep trying to squeeze every dollar to add to the bottom line, but remember, road warriors make you profitable, not weekend warriors!
