Hotel search site with "out of pocket" price

Upvote:0

I suspect what you are seeing is the room price separate from the various addon fees. This is common practice and in my experience, and since different properties and different locations have different rules, there's not a lot you can do about it.

For example, (from their own website) tonight at the Taj, Boston has a Deluxe King Bed Interior View, Non-refundable rate, which includes the statement:

"Rate excludes all applicable taxes and facility fee charge. 30USD/day facility fee includes WIFI, access to PressReader, domestic phone calls, 24-hour Fitness Center, Business Center, Morning Coffee Station, Turn down, and shoe shine"

(there's no mention of what to do if you don't want or need any of those facilities.)

The booking page then presents:

Rate Total:      $ 159.20 
Sales Tax:       $   9.07 
City Tax:        $   9.55 
Occupancy Tax:   $   4.37 
City Hotel Fees: $  34.34 
=========================
Room Total:      $ 216.54

Expedia. Usually what you pay in advance is the total amount without any more additional fees. If there is anything else to pay, it's written in the order confirmation. When you select the room you also get the comparison between different options: free-cancellation, not free, etc..
