We don't travel much any more, so this article about extra fees charged by Hotels floored me. A different world!
If you travel, you probably already knew this. If not, maybe it will soften the blow, when you get charged an extra $30 to insure that you can get a king sized bed.
Too fascinating, not to share.
Mimicking the airlines, hotels get fee-happy
First the airlines,,, now the Hotels... What next? A concierge fee at Walmart checkout?

The Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, like many other hotels, bills items to guests' rooms if sensors in the minibar note they have been removed for more than 60 seconds — enough time, hotels say, to read the nutritional information and make a decision.
The Aria goes one step further. It also charges a $25 a day "personal use fee" if a guest puts their own soda or bottled water in the minibar. A guest in need of a mini refrigerator can have one delivered to their room — for an extra $35 a night.
Royce Breckon travels frequently for his job marketing outdoor sporting equipment but refuses to spend the night at any hotel charging for Internet. Charges typically range from $10 to $25 a night.
