Resort fee

Resort fee is a noun phrase with different meanings depending on the user. Many lodging-industry members use the words "resort fee" to identify a charge to rental guests in addition to the charge for room rental. The fee normally offsets costs of doing business, especially costs for services (or products) resulting directly from room rental, such as housekeeping, linen replacement, coffee, toiletries, etc. Indeed, room rental rates may vary widely according to season, but the resort fee is normally a fixed amount charged nightly without change for a year or more.
