Oh you think resort fees are optional? That would make sense. No no, they're tacked onto every bill.

To add: it's just a way to make their hotel appear more attractive. They advertise thier nightly room rate. When you check in the actual amount you're charged is much more.

Oh ye of much optimism. The resort fees are typically not optional.

Unfortunately that’s not how the fees work. You get charged for them whether you use them or not.
