We could not read a fee on these hotels’ own sites, or the site does not mention one. That is not the same as no fee, so they are listed without a figure.

How the fee reaches your bill

A resort fee is a mandatory charge per night that the hotel sets and collects itself, usually at check-in. It is not a government tax, and it is charged whether or not you use anything it covers. Some hotels call it a destination, facility or amenity fee; the table uses the hotel's own word.

Because the hotel takes it at the desk, it can sit outside the total a booking site quotes. We put it in the total, and we say which part is paid now and which part the hotel collects at the desk.

Where a hotel says tax is charged on the fee, the row says so; where it says nothing, the row says nothing.

Since May 12, 2025, the FTC's rule on unfair fees (16 CFR Part 464) has required the total price a seller shows to include mandatory fees. Government taxes may still be left out of it, and the rule governs what a seller displays, not what a hotel may charge.
