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?

Please start by reading your messages (which will also remove the red box at the top of the page and make the board easier to navigate)

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
