Face2face is a blog about planning face-to-face meetings, conferences, conventions, and trade shows, plus business travel and hospitality news.
Gotta love Chris Elliott for this one: Hotel fees that must die — and how to kill them. (I’m particularly fond of the “furniture fee.” Hadn’t thought of it in quite those terms before.) Read to the end for the most outrageous fee. I’m just waiting for the flush fee that keeps getting bandied about on some cut-rate airlines. Could that be coming to a hotel near you? These days, I’d say anything is possible.
Thanks to MeCo for the pointer!

Wow - some very creative add-ons. I especially like the hotel in Kuala Lumpur that charged for air-conditioning - by the hour - plus service charge and tax on the fee!
Guess I’m spoiled by staying on cruise ships - besides the obvious onboard revenue charges (drinks, specialty restaurants, excursions, spa treatments), you don’t have to worry about “hidden extras” on a cruise.
