Was there a "resort fee" on top of the total shown? We may be in the area in early January and this looks nice.

[AaronJB]

Sutter, resort fee should be listed on the hotel website.

[rc408]

Their lowest rate is a "Leisure Rate" which states: Leisure rate, a resort fee applies, see Rate Rules

The rate rules however do not say what that fee is:

Leisure Rate

Various resort property views including the front drive, tour

lobby drive, hotel parking, some golf and mountain views.

Standard rooms do not have pool or lake views. Views will be

assigned based upon availability at the time of check-in.

The daily Resort Charge includes the following

Self parking, High Speed Internet Access, local call, evening

refresh, bottled water, use of Spa Fitness center, The Greens

18 hole putting course, lawn games and golf bag storage.

Total value is $68.95

So does this mean that you have to pay an additional $68.95 per day on top of the priceline fee ?

Regardless of the price, do you have to pay the resort fee on top of the rate ?

[thereuare]

Yes... just like those who book direct.

They are just showing you the "value" you are getting for your $24 resort fee. Like Thereuare said the resort fees are charged no matter what rate you have paid for your room or how you booked it.
