Although, I got a good rate, it will increase because of the Serrano's "Urban Fee" of $22. Not happy about that. They should just include the fee in the overall rate. That way there are no surprises and patrons will not feel nickeled and dimed. Why do you want to make your customers feel that way? Just include it in the rate and look at all of the "free" services you provide -- yes, I would feel much better about that rather than being angered by having to pay your mandatory fee. Next time I may have to omit this zone when Priceline bidding, although, what other downtown SF hotels charge a similar fee?

Resort fees are a growing trend in the hotel industry and more and more hotels are beginning to charge them.

runner - The Villa Florence also charges a $25 "facility" fee. Along with the Serrano, it is the only other "extra fee" hotel of which I am aware. 

 

After reading another post about the Serrano, I got concerned and did not bid 4* in that zone. The extra $22 would have wrecked my budget. I ended up going with a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal because I could ID the hotel. That being said, the rate you received was much better. I ended up with a net cost of $108 per night. 

 

Hopefully, that will make the bitter pill of the "urban" fee a tiny bit easier to swallow.
