Are fees and taxes of almost $70 normal for this hotel? I previous paid $29 for a bid of $109/night at the Grand Hyatt.

It would be appreciated if you shared all your wins with the board so the information can best help others :)

In regards to the fees/taxes, since the above is a 2 nite stay i'm guessing that the $184 is a typo as the room rate alone would be $230+ ($115 x 2nites)

RESPONSE: yes it was a typo-- It was actually 284 for two nights with taxes and fees. Therefore the taxes and fees came to about $27 per night.
