Thanks, Mary Ann. Truly despicable. The hotels deploying this fee might as well just admit they're stealing $35 from their loyal customers.

Grrr. As if it's not already expensive enough to get into NYC.
At some point, these fees will drive people away. Just like RCI has probably driven away a bunch.

Yeah, just like Disney has driven away peep with it's price increases?
They know that for everyone who balks, someone else is willing to pay.
"If you can bilk 'em, they will come."

Oh, there are breaking points for all of these places (MC in NYC, Disney) where eventually people just refuse to pay the fees. Who knows when or at what point, but continuous increasing fees will gradually erode their customer base to a point where they'll need to scale back.

Actually, they’d have to pay me a fee to go to NYC.

Cheers
