There is a ridiculous resort fee tacked on by Hotwire and then you're told to expect another fee when you arrive.  I don't understand why it's done twice.

 

My rate was $171 per night, but my total charge was $420.20 for a two night stay.  That's $78 dollars in taxes and fees! And then I'm supposed to pay another $24 when I check in? What gives?

 

Break down:

2 nights stay= $342

Tax recovery charges & fees - $78

Subtotal = $420.20

 

and then it says, "additional $12 per room per night".  

 

Does anyone know why Hotwire charges the $78 and then I'm expected to pay another $24 (resort fee) when I arrive? The most that taxes should be on this room should be around $50 total.  Where does the additional $25 (approx) go? 

 

That's over $100 in fees! Seems like they are charging me twice.

 

 

I just ran a sample booking on a room that's comparable to the place I just booked.  The rates were $167 per night.  Total taxes and fees were $58.61.  

So am I to assume that for a $8 dollar total difference, there is a $20 additional in taxes?  Should I call Hotwire to question the charges?

You're comparing the a hotel's taxes only to HOTWIRE's taxes and fees, as HOTWIRE adds a booking fee for processing the transaction, this total was shown on the detail page before you committed to the purchase.

Keep in mind that the 'over $100 in fees' actually goes to 3 different parties:

1) hotwire for offering the discounted room rate and booking the room

2) taxes goes to city/state

3) resort fee goes directly to the hotel
