Energy charges added to our hotel bill
 

Hilton in Southbury, CT put on our bill $3.00 for energy cost. <BR><BR>I know itsn't much but what energy crises do they have in mind? <BR>When we called to sked they said they add this charge to every bill.<BR>This is not very sattisfying explanation<BR><BR>Did you hear about this kind of charge?<BR>Did you check your hotel bill closely?<BR>Did you just dismissed this small amount or did you do something about it?<BR>

There was a lawsuit in California that overturned the energy charges. The hotels are having to return the charged fees.

Was this recent, Betty? I haven't heard of anyone doing this in quite some time. Seems to me it was about a year ago that *some* hotels started adding that charge, but most quickly discontinued it.

FIGHT IT. Are some hotels still charging a security fee because a safe is in the room?

Marriott added charge to my bill some time ago.<BR><BR>As soon as I questioned it. the clerk quickly removed the charge.<BR>

Thank you all and yes, it was recently.<BR>October 26 this year

I work in the industry and can tell you that these charges have been eliminated by almost every hotel company.<BR>Very strange that you were charged.<BR>Question it if it's worth it to you.

The Atlantis hotel in Reno charges $3/night &quot;energy charge&quot;. I didn't question it, I'm afraid, b/c my bill was paid by my employer, but I will in future. They should be ashamed of themselves, but they never are...

Municipalities are infamous for adding taxes to pay for local projects. In San Antonio they built a $175 million stadium this year which will be entirely payed for by hotel and rental car sercharges.
