    Marriott CEO says resort fees ain't going away
    https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos-gaming/marriott-ceo-believes-resort-fees-are-here-to-stay-1741214/

    You'd have thought 1 chain would dump them and the rest would follow. Evidently not.

        Yeah, well fuk the Marriott! Your a chump if you pay those fees. Make your reservation and if they refuse to remove those fees, cancel and book elsewhere. Fuk those greedy assholes!

        A little hint, make sure to tell them that’s exactly the reason why you’re canceling and you’re going to post on all social media platforms about their bullshit fees. Watch how fast they change their tune.

              There’s strength in numbers. If enough people raise hell about these rip off fees, they will go away!

                WRONG again, as usual. If anything, other "Resorts" in other states, such as Hawaii, and to a degree, California. are starting to add resort fees to their charges, NOT eliminate them. If you can't afford it, then look elsewhere.

                        Sleeping in an alley w fishhead on a mattress covered in body fluids after a tough day of dumpster diving and glory hole working isn’t smart cueball. It is called being broke and homeless. Be careful out there, pussies like jibby want all homeless locked up.

                                This is good point #1.

                                #2 is stay with AirBnB instead. Sure it's got it's own set of problems but if resort fees are you're sticking point, this solves it.
                                Also AirBnB is currently smashing the hotel industry. If you want to vote, vote with your dollars.

                                  The two aren't mutually exclusive.

                                            And it was just a brilliant marketing scheme when Vegas first released it... what is it basically??? Access to the gym and internet service? Sort of ridiculous.

                                            Most of us have unlimited data on our phones.... and lazy fukks don't even use the gym. So why charge?

                                              The best is when they say free local calls included with your resort fees.

                                                Don't forget about daily newspaper and boarding pass printing.........that everyone also uses their phone for.

                                                  How much are the fees? Seemingly everything you do has false advertising about the pricing hidden behind numerous fees.

                                                    atlantic city charges resort fees as well

                                                    funny thing is resort fees were mainly at resorts, now any hotel near a beach has them

                                                      on average $35

                                                        Cost me 50 dollars a day to park in San Diego lol.... but valet is to damn convenient with kids must have. There is usually no middle ground on hotels if you want extremely nice you pay for it everything else is just garbage. Avoid package flight hotel deals they usually are not a deal and you are lowest tier on everything. Vacations in general usually suck unless you do your homework

                                                          First off, I’m never wrong dip shit. It’s not a fuk’in question of whether people can “afford” these fees, it’s the fact that it’s a blatant rip off! The Hilton I recently stayed at doesn’t charge these fees. If you’re stupid enough to pay them, that’s on you for not questioning bullshit “add on fees” to your bill.

                                                          Like Booya stated on here earlier, he’s not charged these fees, so why should anyone else be ripped off.
                                                          And to quote hubie69, “vote with your dollars or use Airbnb”, there are several options available other than being raked over by an industry that needs to fill rooms to make money.

                                                                So when some idiot calls my all in when I have it, they’re paying my Resort Fees for me.
