The push for full transparency of hotel fees—which can add hundreds of extra dollars to your final receipt—has taken the form of a House bill that passed the GOP-controlled chamber with overwhelming bipartisan support.
The No Hidden FEES Act would create a single standard to transparently display fees across the entire long- and short-term lodging industry. It will require all added fees to reservations for hotels and short-term rentals—including “resort fees” that even hotels without resort amenities tack on—to be listed and disclosed up front so people have a realistic idea of lodging prices and can compare options as they see fit.
