True, that is better than nothing. However, they are still only showing that information AFTER you already clicked confirm, and it is too late to cancel. For example, in my recent experience (this thread: 3* Orange County (Anaheim-Disneyland North) Holiday Inn (Walnut St), $68 ... 12/30/09-1/2/10), I saw a "final" price and clicked the button to confirm the booking. Only then was it revealed that there was a $10 resort fee. Here is the text in the "Know Before You Go" section before continuing to the payment information (notice no mention about resort fee): Here is the text on the confirmation page (there is a mention of a possible resort fee, but no actual amount is listed): And here is the text after clicking the "Book trip" button (finally, an amount is revealed, but it is too late): Bottom line: Dear Hotwire, If the resort fee is indeed unavoidable and to be paid by all guests, then Hotwire should build it into the price it publishes. Without it, you can't compare one hotel's price to another because you don't know which ones have extra and mandatory fees, and which do not. Thanks!
