Resort fees are a scam. They have been recently required to display them when booking but the place them cleverly so most people dont see them. Another scam is a deposit on arrival for potential damages. If you look at reviews about 20% of people dont get the deposit back or have to weeks\months for it
Oh wow, that's good to know... Thanks for the info! I feel like especially for those from the UK / Europe, prices in the US (not just for hotels but other things, too) contain a lot of hidden costs. It feels like places are sometimes just trying to blend these resort fees into the taxes that are added on at the end. It's definitely a challenge when people are trying to budget their spending money and then having to pay all these unexpected extra costs on arrival!
Stayed here in October 2023 and will be returning in February 2025! Can't wait, many great memories in New York City ❤
@@Poet_03 That's amazing! I'd definitely like to return one day. What are your favourite things about the city? 😊
I appreciate the review. I'm staying there in November. Going to see David Gilmour at MSG should be fun
Oh amazing! Hope you have a wonderful time. The hotel is perfect for MSG. Is it your first time at the New Yorker/in New York City?
@@lifeandlouise 1st at the NYer
@@cryptogumbyckb1183 Hope you enjoy it! Definitely worth having a walk around the hotel and museum part to see more of the history!
