Some of the steepest hotel fees are, predictably, in dense cities such as San Francisco and New York. According to an estimate with data from ResortFeeChecker.com, the average parking fee in the latter city can exceed $100 a night but is less likely to be automatically included given the lower number of visitors who drive in.
But another traveler that had come to Elliott said that she had a Los Angeles hotel insist that a parking fee when she didn’t have a car was not a mistake but a “mandatory fee” part of the hotel’s policy — one that, according to Elliott, is starting to replace resort fees as a hidden source of profit for the hotel industry.
