Expedia prepaid hotels-tax recovery fee
I'm tempted to book the Amalfi Hotel in Chicago for a week in September using Expedia.ca because they have a great rate. In addition to the room rate they charge taxes and fees (about 16 percent). I'm trying to figure out whether this is used for the City room tax but my reading of the small print on their site as well as their answer to my email query to them is a bit ambiguous. Has anyone been charged additional fees or taxes at the hotel (other than for services that aren't included in the rate such as stuff from the minibar, parking etc.) on a prepaid booking? I've never used Expedia before but did prepay for a hotel in Prague with Booking.com with no problems (but the tax was included in the room rate so that wasn't an issue)
Thanks!
Thanks!

I am trying to recall my Expedia hotel reservations... in one place I was charged resort fees - $3 a night. Can't recall any additional taxes ever.
In Chicago I got the hotel through Quikbook, no additional charges.
Came from Canada 2 days ago - prepaid the room through Expedia, no charges at all.
