You'll say "then just put it in the room rate" right? Be careful what you ask for!
If they put the $25 in the room rate, it will have to be grossed up..
- 20% or so to cover taxes, service charges, etc
- 5% or more to cover potential commisions
- another 5-10% to cover corporate/government/affinity/promotional discounting
- a couple of percent to cover internal cost accounting variances
So, again, under the assumption that they are going to get that first $25 out of you, would you rather have it be a $25fee...or a $34.50 increase in the room rate.
Because that's what it will cost you to have it added on to the room rate.
Hate to be the "bearer of reality" but...
It's only reality if I pay it. I don't mind paying for stuff I want and use, but I'm sure as hell not going to pay an extra undisclosed charge for a spa that I didn't ask for and didn't use.
Unless they disclose the "spa fee" when I book, they're just S*** Out of Luck as far as I'm concerned.
