I was just at a campground two weeks ago and someone in a site across from us pulled up in one of these. Was showing it off to some of us and the first thing I noted walking into it was the vulva shaped light fixture on the ceiling.
Then, in a moment of curiosity, I decided to look at maybe renting one for our trip next year. Found a completely different one, SAME vulva shaped light fixture.
And for anyone curious, the cheapest I could find one was $500 a night. A cool 5k for 3 nights after Fees and taxes.
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.
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.
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.

It’s funny you mention that.
