Is this the automatic tipping, or a separate resort fee?
I just returned from a business conference that was held in a resort hotel. Each room was assessed a mandatory $10-per-day "Resort Services Fee" that included (and I'm copying this from the card we were given):
No charge for local phone calls
No access charge for credit card and 800 number calls
Starbucks regular and decaffeinated coffee provided daily in the guest room
Monday-Friday USA Today newspaper delivery
Use of the health club facilities
Use of the tennis courts
Shuttle service within Resort (it was a big place)
As we were there for a conference and had little free time, and as I do not drink coffee, my $10 per day pretty much covered the USA Today delivery. Nice paper, but not worth $10. :lol Still, it was such a small charge that I didn't mind. (And I'm sure my company won't mind paying it, either.)
