LOVE AIRLINE FEES? TRY HOTEL FEES.

Did you think airline fees were ever-more creative?  Welcome to hotel fees!  The New York Times had an article about hotels charging fees that were so ridiculous I had to check to see if it was an April Fool's Day joke.  Nope.


Here's what the Times had to say:

"We all have pet peeves about fees. Some readers are livid about so-called groundskeeping fees and others by charges for things like that in-room safe that few people use. A nightly charge for housekeeping especially irks me. So let’s say I share my skepticism and cynicism with one business traveler, who wrote this after reading last week’s column:
“Like you, my wife and I have long left a tip on the bed at hotels as a tip to the person that cleans the room. However, last fall, in Manhattan we came back to our room midmorning. The room had not been cleaned, but the tip was gone.” "

One of the many joys of home exchange is no groundskeeping fee.  As for housekeeping, I don't feel much like cleaning this large swap home when we leave so I am writing to the exchangers to see which cleaning service they use, or if they would mind if I hire a bonded cleaner to supervise before we leave.  Who says you can't have the best of both worlds?
