Nickel & Dime You
In fairness to Doubletree, much of my disdain is likely true for most hotels in this city, but nowhere else we visit do you get charged so many taxes and fees for doing just about anything. We had paid over $300/night but this hotel in say Fort Worth Texas would be worth maybe $120. We arrived early so understandably our room wasn't ready and we had anticipated storing our luggage and going out for a walk in the city. What we didn't plan on and I've not experienced in all my travels; the hotel required a payment of 2$/bag for storage! If that wasn't bad enough, we ended up just staying out all day and got back to the hotel around 10pm and there was no Bellman available so it took over 30 minutes to get our bags out of storage. Next, I am a Hilton Honors member and I asked about Wi-Fi but they said my Honors level did not cover free Wi-Fi. Finally when we got our bill, there was $86 just in taxes for 2 nights!
