what was stopping hotels from already doing this?

  not sure how rhetorical you're being, but...regulations ;-) this is exactly why companies like airbnb, uber, and the other disruptors try so damn hard to not be lumped in with the exact market they are trying to disrupt. they all know that if they had to play by the same rules, there would be no disrupting. the disruption comes from them being allowed to skirt the rules and play on different playing fields. they'll all scream about corruption in the existing sytem, and some of that might very well be true, they are suggesting to throw the baby out with the bathwater. it is true that some regulations that help protect the consumer will hinder unbridled growth for the disruptor. tough!

    fancy location hotels tack on often "resort fees" but the vast majority of normal ones don't. is that the result of regulations?
