Fighting Back: My Battle Against 'Junk Fees' at a NYC Hotel

A traveler recounts their experience of being charged multiple "junk fees" by a New York City hotel, including daily destination fees and separate taxes on each fee. Despite the hotel's claims that these fees provide amenities and discounts, the traveler found them unnecessary and unwanted. The hotel industry has faced criticism for these fees, with legislation introduced to eliminate excessive and hidden fees and require transparent pricing. The traveler was eventually able to dispute the charges with their credit card company, highlighting the unfairness of unexpected charges on hotel bills.
