Look before you book, if you want to make sure you don’t “get took” by hidden hotel fees.
Some properties now include a resort fee for use of a health club or exercise equipment — even if you don’t use them.
Unless you decline this add-on ahead of time, you will automatically be charged in some cases. The same frequently holds true for business centers available to hotel guests.
And before you reach into your wallet to tip the bellman for a room service delivery, make sure a gratuity is not already included in the charge — the same goes for housekeeping. Tipping is a time-honored custom, but you don’t need to do it twice.
I’ll share a few more travel secrets with you in my upcoming report on New York Nightly News at 7.
Happy trails!
