It's usually not a big chain doing this, so I'd gladly get banned since I'm never going back anyway. That's not the problem (see adjacent).

- prepend 3y agoHotels in all the major chains do this. Try staying in a Hilton or Hyatt or Marriott in a touristy place like Hawaii or Florida and not get a resort fee or something stupid. If you’re lucky they are advertised and you can filter. If you’re unlucky you find out at check-in and your options are pay or find a new hotel while your family waits. Or if you’re super lucky, you find out at checkout and just refuse to pay and be on your merry way.
- hot_gril 3y agoHilton etc will charge the fee when you book. I just tried with Hilton Orlando. It's mildly annoying getting a booking bill more than the widely advertised price, and it should be illegal too, but you know what you're paying when you pay. What I referred to above is being charged a resort fee after you've already paid the initial booking fee. Last two places I saw this were Balley's in Vegas and VYE in Miami.
