Priceline Hotel: ALERT: Charged resort fee 1 year after stay at Courtyard Miramar

[hellyea]

I stayed at the Courtyard Miramar in San Juan in May of 2009. On April 27, they charged my credit card $13.65. It showed up under "HOTEL EXCELSIOR". I eventually figured out that this hotel is what the Courtyard used to be called. I called their accounting department this week , and she told me that this was a "Resort Tax" that they tried charging Priceline, and it was rejected and thus passed on to me. I didn't get into disputing the word "resort" with them -- but I was firm about not being notified about a charge, and that it being nearly 1 year later, its completely unacceptable. She agreed to reverse the charge.

I want to warn others who may have booked at this hotel before to check your credit card statements carefully.

This, in my opinion, is a shady practice.

Thanks for the info... glad you caught it, as i'm sure many don't review their credit card bills close enough.
