Hotwire Hotel: 4* Savannah (Hilton Head Island) Crowne Plaza Resort Hilton Head

[dmarzo]

Thanks for all the helpful hints on these great boards

I just got a 4* Hilton Head Resort

Check-in Saturday, April 11; check out Sunday April 12

Two rooms for $79 each or about ~$94 after taxes and fees

Turned out to be Crowne Plaza Hilton Head

I did just notice this little gem of a statement on the hotwire pre-sale screen:

"This hotel typically charges all guests a resort fee regardless of how the room is booked. The hotel collects this fee of about $20 per room per night directly from you, so it won't show in your Hotwire

that is a fee you must pay even when booking the hotel the regular way. Nothing strange, Hilton Head is a typical "resort fee" spot.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links to start future purchases.

Thanks Yellowdog. Just dont understand why this isn't rolled into the overall room charge. I wonder if it is covered differently in their income statements/tax treatment? As a consumer, it makes me a little upset. We do like the hotel quite a bit and had a fun stay but the resort fee ($13 by the way per night per room) is an irritant

It's commom thing, but i agree with you. It's like stealing money from the guests.
