I’ve been percolating on this complaint for a little bit. I feel like the hotels offsite are starting to get a bit ridiculous. I used to like going up to some of the resorts in Orlando and chilling out for the weekend. It seems like these days as the prices for some of the nice hotels have been increasing so have their resort fees. Like airlines these days the resorts seem to be nickel and diming you out of every penny you have. Just about every hotel has at least a twenty dollar “resort fee”. Many of these resorts also have a 16-20 dollar parking fee a night. I understand that in some downtown locations where land and parking is a premium. But when your resort is surrounded by empty land it feels a bit wrong. So when looking to book a stay, make sure you note their fees because it can be an extra 45-50 bucks a night depending on the hotel. I use to go over once every two months or so but the desire to be nickeled and dimed out way my desire to go over.
