- Resort fees are a top frustration for travelers, who are dismayed by the added costs to hotel rates.
- These fees, which can cover everything from WiFi to gym access, often cost $25 to $50 a night.
- President Biden in his recent State of the Union address called on lawmakers to bar resort fees.
There's nothing like finding the perfect hotel, seeing great rates for the duration of your stay, and getting to the payment page, only to see a cost far beyond what had initially been estimated.
Travelers, looking intently at the details of the would-be reservation, may wonder if they accidentally selected the incorrect room type or if they entered too many days for the trip.
