Priceline Hotel: Are Fees and taxes included

[Carmen Foster]

Hi

I would like to know if fees and taxes are included when you win a bid for a hotel. If not could you please give me an idea of any extras I may have to pay so that I can make sure I don't go over my budget when bidding.

Thanks Carmen

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Fees and taxes are not included in the bid price but the total price, should your bid be accepted, is shown to you before you submit your bid.

Some hotels, especially in Vegas, charge Resort fees (~$25/day at the 5* level) which are additional and payable directly to the hotel.

If you'd like help with your own stay please continue this thread with the details of your trip (dates, desired budget, star rating, zones, etc) and we'll take it from there.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Thanks.

EVERY major hotel in Vegas now charges a daily resort fee. I think it's $10 on the low end and tops about at about $25 ($28 with tax.) I'd personally recommend factoring in $28 a day to your rate. Several of the 4 stars and all of the 5 stars charge that much. But you don't pay that till you check out, and you pay directly to the hotel.
