HI
I have been travelling to Orlando/ Kissimmee are since 1994 normally staying every other year and stayed all over from Hotels on I-drive and the 192 to houses near Champions Gate. However, in all this time I have never been charged a resort fee or parking charges.
I have been looking around bonnet creek and nearby hotels and suite properties near WDW. 3 to 4star.
However, it seems that all properties in and around WDW are now charging resort fees, parking fees and even cleaning fees for some of the villa and suite style accommodation. When did a nightly room charge and state taxes become not enough for these establishments? For example, the Hilton Bonnet Creek for a parking and resort fee adds up to $74 per night. that's another $1036+ sales tax for a 14-night stay for one room and for a family with two rooms $1666+sales tax . But this took some investigation. Perhaps we can start a listing those hotels that are not charging additional fees and name and shame the money grabbers. that are adding up to another 80% to the daily cost for a room with these fees.
