Y ou should not have to find a room rate for a hotel property — only to be surprised with a mandatory resort fee lurking during the booking process; so I have decided to start a comprehensive list of hotel properties which charge resort fees because I have been adamant about what I believe is a legal but potentially deceptive practice.
Because this is a potentially massive project, I intend to revise and update this list on an ongoing basis — but I need your assistance. Please help me list hotel properties here to fight resort fees — if only to equip you with a database of sorts to which you may easily refer.
Please also help get the word out about this article so that others may contribute information. If we can work together, we can fight the pervasiveness of resort fees by spreading the word and choosing to boycott hotel properties which engage in this practice.
I have started the list below and plan on adding to the list because I do not like resort fees; but I have a feeling that there will be many hotel properties added to it. Depending on the information, the formatting of the list may change; but for now, I am most interested in getting as much information on this list as soon as possible.
The names of the hotel and resort properties are linked directly to the official Internet web sites of those properties; and the resort fee amounts include tax where applicable. If there are any errors or updates, please alert me to them so that I may keep this list as accurate as possible.
Please submit your candidates of hotel properties — along with links — which charge mandatory resort fees in the Comments section below. Thank you in advance.
