How to avoid resort fees every time

1. Filter by "no resort fees"

Booking.com and Kayak allow resort fee filtering. Use it.

2. Call before booking

Ask: "Are there any mandatory daily fees besides taxes?" If they hesitate, move on.

3. Book fee-free chains

Motel 6, Red Roof, Kimpton, Drury, Four Seasons — zero resort fees across all locations.

4. Read the "fine print" on booking sites

Resort fees are often buried in tiny text below the total price. Always expand the rate details.
