Frequently Asked Questions
What hidden fees should I watch for at hotels?
Common hidden fees include resort fees ($15-$50/night), parking ($15-$60/night), Wi-Fi charges, minibar restocking fees, early check-in/late check-out fees, and tourism/occupancy taxes. Always ask for the total cost including all fees before booking.
How much are hotel taxes typically?
Hotel taxes vary widely: US cities charge 10-18% (New York City is around 14.75%), European cities charge 5-15% plus city tourist taxes of 1-7 euros per night, and some destinations like the Maldives or Cancun add additional tourism levies.
When is the cheapest time to book a hotel?
Generally, booking 1-3 months in advance for domestic travel and 2-5 months ahead for international trips gets the best rates. Tuesdays and Wednesdays often have lower prices. Avoid booking during holidays, conventions, and peak tourist season.
