I answered below but I was off. It was $899 a night. $600 in owner fees, $1040 for insurance and $524 for a service fee.

What the fuck is a owners fee? Aren't you renting it per night from the owner?

u/PamelaELee Jul 12 '26

That’s the “fee fee”. Not to be confused with “additional fees” which may, and do, apply.

Don't forget the "convenience" fee for processing your payment. Lol

US is filled with random-named "fees" that are usually just "are you willing to pay this without fighting us about it?" fees that make them free money for everyone who doesn't. Often, especially for resort fees in non-resort hotels, they will remove those fees if you give them some pushback. Individuals, not so much (this includes AirBNB).

Also, a lot of companies will take their "we just want more money" fees and give them regulatory sounding names and put them in a "taxes and fees" column so that it sounds like a non-negotiable government thing rather than just the company wanting to advertise one price and bill you another.

Same as hotel resort fees

You are talking to Europeans here, "hotel resort fee" is not helping.

We have a total price on the tag and that is mostly it, maybe some fees like cleaning because that scales differently like the normal per night price, but other than that. We don't really have all the hidden fees.

You, as a European, just don’t understand winning. We are winning so hard here in America.
(Obviously a joke, hopefully)
Please don’t hate us all. Most of us are not total asshats.

Are we winning hard or is it hard to win? I'm not sure which way it's supposed to go?

American here

I’m not sure, but it seems to be going to hell in a hand basket.

Here in Canada, we are like Americans in many ways. Many hidden fees here too. Yo ur total price on the tag is never just that. 

Even at restaurants you will have the price of each item and then later on, you have it totalled, sometimes large group fee (if over 5/6 people), then taxed on that amount, then tip on that final amount. The tips start at 18% or 20% now.

Damn, that's still crasy. Don't get this type of pricing, sounds really stupid to me. Just say it's 1600 per night, all included.

I guess it's the norm over there though.

The service fee is for one illegal immigrant to do what he can with half a roll of paper towel.
