Introducing the latest hotel scam that will make you question your five-star experience — and the worst part is, it’s completely legal.
Hotels across the country have been recently caught implementing exorbitant charges for early check-ins or late check-outs, a perk that used to be offered as a courtesy when available, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
This new trend in the hospitality industry is aimed at boosting profits while silently eliminating basic amenities like daily housekeeping.
In recent years, hotels have been guilty of imposing a range of “junk fees” on their guests, including confusing resort charges and expensive parking fees. The White House has recently promised to combat this trend, as these fees cost Americans billions of dollars.
Responding to this issue, President Biden has urged the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to take action against these hidden fees that take advantage of consumers.
Meanwhile, visitors to New York City’s TWA Hotel at Kennedy Airport may find themselves facing a fee of up to $150 for a late check-out.
