- which, fine whatevs. just don't exclude them from the bottom line price you're offering on your discount website -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 25, 12:20 3
  - Yup. I'm just not surprised. -- nm - spamlet Jan 25, 13:25
  - Yup. It's vile. -- nm - David Jan 25, 12:22
  - totally agree -- nm - prayformojo Jan 25, 12:22
Though not at Disney World (on property) 8-) -- nm - JD Jan 25, 12:12 5
- The Marriott resorts which are technically Disney charge something like $35 per night in resort fees. - David Jan 25, 12:22 4
  - Almost as soon as I pressed enter there was the thought of er, wait, I wonder about the Swan and Dolphin - JD Jan 25, 12:27 3
    - It's a mess. - David Jan 25, 12:31 2
      - Wait. So he bought the 99 year deal on the Disneyland Hotel cause he was worried about what could happen there but then granted a 99 year lease - JD Jan 25, 12:35 1
        
        The Disneyland Hotel thing happened because he went broke building the park. Jack Wrather was the only person who saw the benefits of the hotel. - David Jan 25, 12:43
its the first hotel i've ever stayed at that imposed a mandatory one (no national chain does that i've ever experienced) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 25, 12:11 7
- Alas, plenty of locations of national chains have taken this up, especially in heavy tourist areas. -- nm - ty97 Jan 25, 13:17
- All the hotels in Vegas charge them, Hawaii too. They are not included in the price, there's a disclosure. -- nm - jnine Jan 25, 12:39 1
  - Along with up to $50/day for self-parking. -- nm - Meg Jan 25, 12:43
- but also, this was no "resort" and the benefits ($10 credit at the in-house restaurant that charges $30+ for entrees) were not worth trying to squeeze -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 25, 12:12 3
  - Sometimes, at locations where Marriott/Hilton charge a mandatory resort fee, it includes free wifi. - ty97 Jan 25, 13:18
  - Resort fee includes: locking door, key card, ceiling, right to use elevator and/or stairs -- nm - JD Jan 25, 12:14 1
    - That's basic stuff that I assumed was included in the hotel coast. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:56
