I don’t think that bundling them in the posted price is the right solution. I think external fees, like taxes, should have to be disclosed separately, but prior to purchase. If they are included in the room rate, it looks like the hotel is just charging more, and these fees are fundamentally different than the normal junk fees some hotels try to charge for. Something like: Room rate - $224/night Taxes - $42.86/night Total - $266.86/night (note: these are real numbers from a recent stay in metro Atlanta. They are charging a tax rate of almost 20% in an area where sales tax is normally around 9%.)
