    Are you kidding? It’s totally common for hotels to charge 50 bucks a night in bullshit fees

        Lots of hotels tack on “amenity fees” or “resort fees” separate from those. It’s pretty obnoxious, especially since they don’t show them to you til you’re halfway through booking.

          Parking (at a remote resort with no other reasonable way of accessing) comes to mind as one of the bullshit’ish fees I’ve had to pay, but most of the rest are usually fees passed up from the municipality etc

        Around 2004-5 I regularly stayed at a large chain hotel near Tucson airport (something like Doubletree, but I’m not sure if it was that one). They charged a daily fee for the phone in your room. Not for using it, mind you, just for the phone being there. And no, they did not have rooms without phones.

      Last week I stayed in a hotel for 3 days at a said and done price that was still about $100 cheaper than this 2 night Airbnb’s base price, not even adding in their fees.

        Ok? That tells us nothing without comparing location, etc.
