Apparently the real headache is the quickly growing list of hotel surcharges even for items youll never use. A study out of new york says hotels will take in a record 2. 25 billion this year in revenue. And some of that money is from new surcharges and hotels increasing the amount of existing fees like guaranteeing two queen beds, checking in early are or checking out late. You probably are still paying for an inroom safe whether you use it or not. And if you want to avoid some of these fee, check the fine Police Department before you you check in. I had no idea they could charge you you for the safe even if you didnt use it. Business travelers are a larger portion of the hotel population.
