No other American industry is allowed to quote a low price, then refuse to provide the service you paid for unless you pay a 'surcharge', which can be over 50% of the price of the room.
The hotel industry does this with 'resort fees' (sometimes even when they have no 'resort' amenities).
To his credit FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz sent hotels a warning letter in November about 'resort fees'.
But let's make it clear to our government if a charge is MANDATORY than it must be disclosed when quoting prices. Hotels still could charge 'resort fees', which they disclose at check-in are optional - and if they offer enough services for a reasonable optional fee there will be takers.
But NO MORE MANDATORY resort fees unless they are disclosed by all hotels & re-sellers in the nightly room rate!
