Hotel check-in fees
When it comes to hotels in popular destinations, resort fees can vary between $10-$30 a night. Unfortunately, not many people are aware of such fees. “This is often a surprise to most guests due to the fee not being included in the price. To avoid a costly surprise during check-in, call your hotel and ask upfront about fees,” says Smith.
More sneaky hotel fees
Since we’re speaking of hotels, here’s another thing you should watch out for whenever you are staying at a hotel: mini bar fees. There’s usually a list of prices somewhere in the room but sometimes, a simple rearrangement of items inside the minibar can incur a cost. In addition, you might be charged extra for extra towels.
If you don’t want any unpleasant surprises at the end of your stay, ask about any fees or charges for the things in your room from the very beginning.
