1. You won't find anyone who likes resort fees.
2. Some think that doing business with a hotel that dares charge a resort fee is akin to committing a statutory crime, like getting frisky with a 17-year-old.
3. Others understand that some hotels try something gimmicky by setting a lower rate for the room for the sake of placement on Expedia searches, etc. prior to the resort fees being added. Most of these people also understand that a hotel asking $89 a night plus $20 resort fee, would be asking $109, not $89, if not for the gimmicky resort fee.
4. Many like, Joe above, don't systematically reject a property because of resort fees and simply calculates it into their equation for choosing a stay. ... i.e. a $149 room at Caesars Palace with no resort fee is a worse offer than $109 at Wynn with a $25 resort fee in more ways than one. ... Same concept as when I decide if I want to fly Southwest Airlines on March 11 and pay $218 and have no baggage fees. Or if I want to fly Allegiant for $36 and be saddled with $30 in luggage fees.
You are welcome in advance.
What will I have for breakfast tomorrow? (Thanks in advance, again)
