I think amenities fees should be illegal. When I asked what amenities, they said "housekeeping, the free wifi, the exercise room".
I started using the Australian site (it can still be used for searching elsewhere), because they're required by law to list the final price as the listing price
You can sort by price and all the bullshit fees are built into it
We're travelling in the US at the moment, and as an Australian this habit of posting prices that aren't actually the price really grinds my gears.
In Australia, the listed price is the price you'll pay. The only exception is if they specify that it excludes GST, in which case the total price will be 10% higher.
In the US, the listed price is the starting price. Then you'll have a city tax, a state tax, a federal tax, a congestion fee, a service fee, a minimum gratuity, and then of course the optional (but not really) additional tip on top with a suggested minimum of 25%.
It's making buying things a really sour experience. Just yesterday I bought some clothing that came in a little under $250 and I had $300 cash on me. Easy, that'll cover it. Nope... ended up having to bust out the card because the total was closer to $320 once all the fees and taxes got thrown on top.
And the contexts in which you can list prices excluding GST are pretty limited.
My heart goes out to you friend. Get home safe ❤️
In order, fine, that's not free, and we both know I'm not going to use it.
They charged an amenity fee for "free wifi"?
I think they meant fee (without the 'r') wifi
