Tip Of The Day: Watch Out For Fees When Booking A Trip
That perfect hotel price can quickly increase with extra charges if you're not careful. Remember that every hotel is different, so its important to ask in advance before assuming that any special perks or amenities are free.
Everybody knows that using the hotelroom's phone or eating from the snackbar will quickly jack up costs, but some hotels may also charge extra fees for accessing the internet, calling room service, using their valet service, or cancelling a reservation.
So when you're calling the hotel to ask about extra perks like free breakfast or parking, remember to also ask what if any extra fees come with the room. Some hotels automatically add charges like use of their gym or swimming pool. If you know you won't be using those facilities, ask if they can remove those fees from your bill. It may not always happen, but it doesn't hurt to ask and can help lessen the pain when you finally get the bill.

I'm sorry to post this request for help here Mr.Thompson, everytime I clicked the submit form it broght me to a website for a portland radio station. Thank you for your consideration
Dear Mr. Thompson,
I really need your help. The help I will be asking from you is not for myself it is for my job. I have been working for 4 years at a local daycare called Stony Point Child Care Center. This summer we were shut down by the state suddenly for elevated levels of lead, coincidently that happened the week when my boss Laura Milsom was on vacation for literally the first time that lasted more that a day or two. We are housed in Letchworth Village, some place I am sure you have heard of because of Geraldo's expose, so the buildings are old and will always have elevated levels of paint. We rent the building from the town of Stony Point for a $1 lease due to our non-profit status. Because the lease is so small the Town will not help with the ibatement costs. This is where the help from you is desperately required. I go back to college at SUNY New Paltz in 3 weeks, I truly don't want to see all these kids with no where to go in September. That Daycare is more than just a Daycare, its truly a family. Thank you for all your help. Please write back to let me know your thoughts it would be highly appreciated.
Sincerly,
Marissa Abreu
