This is what my itemized stay was for a single night:

A $2.13 "Parking Recovery Fee" is charged to cover the expense in building their parking garage...and then, they charge me another sales tax on top of the parking recovery fee, then charging me a recovery fee because they need to recover the credit card fees charged on the city and state sales tax items.Resort fees are also becoming more and more common, even in hotels that shouldn't need a "resort fee" -- if I'm staying at an Embassy Suites in the middle of nowhere, Iowa, why do I need to pay a resort fee?
