- In today’s episode of Critiques by Clint, TPG Managing Editor, Clint Henderson gives you the tips and tricks needed to avoid paying those pesky, overpriced resort fees.
With travel in full swing, resort fees are on the rise once again with many popular destination hotels charging as high as $60 per stay, per day, PLUS taxes. Some of these 'perks' consist of wifi, pool towels, in-room coffee - something we'd usually consider basic hotel amenities.
Would you pay extra if you weren't forced to? Let us know in the comments!

I hated paying Destination/Resort fees in NYC. I don’t drink, so I don’t need $25.00 per night for a bar credit. If the bar had sandwiches it might have been OK, but they only have peanuts. $25.00 per day for peanuts? Ridiculous.
Not one thing on how to avoid resort fees?
What ever you do, DO NOT STAY AT THE HILTON MIDTOWN! They charge a "Urban Destination Charge" which is 100% made up and they only charge transient guests. They claim you get $35 in food & beverage credit, but you have to stop by the front desk before check out as the Hilton Midtown will only give you the credit if you ask for it. nearly 95% of all fees do not use the F&B Credit. It is there to make money and only money off your stay.
Utterly useless video. Its totally misleading, you make it sound like you have a solution and then, you dont......
Right? Where’s the tip?
Tell the AG? Tell your cc? 🙄
Agreed. Probably the best part of the video is the reminder that these fees are often not disclosed until it's too late. I may call ahead and inquire prior to booking or try some other methods of investigating before being fully committed. The AG and CC recommendations are a big hassle at best and a waste of time at worst.
Ain’t nothing quite like resort fees + paying taxes on those resort fees in order to get things you don’t want 😂👍
I had to pay almost $300 in resort fees for a weekend at the Holiday Inn Waterpark, Orlando, FL end of October 2022. Fortunately, I had just product changed from Chase Sapphire Preferred to Chase Sapphire Reserve and used my $300 travel stipend. At this particular hotel guests need to pay for amenities, parking, resort fees, and services even if they do not use them that day. Appears a value when compared to the high prices of Marriott Swan and Dolphin hotels at Disney World. That is until you add all the resort fees.
Went to Miami surpised us with some vs resort fee said you can't remove it. Now what? No other option ur there and everything else book.

how to AVOID paying fees....don't pay them. OK????? You don't think they hide behind fine print so you cant get out of it?
It would be great if people stop with the history lessons on these videos & just get to the point...if I wanted the history, I would have done that myself 🙄
Yeah but in Vegas, all the good property have these bullshit fees. I don't want to run in to trouble with the mob.
3:36 - I will stay at a Red Roof Inn without a pool, and avoid these fees.
