Please list all hotel properties which charge a resort fee. Provide a link to the source, if possible. Also, please add any pertinent information fellow FlyerTalk members should know about resort fees — such as whether or not they are included as part of a reward stay, for example.
Hilton Tuscon El Conquistador — $20.00 resort fee added in 2012.

Resort Fees
As reward use increases and prices slowly increase, use of free basic ammenities are decreasing as well.
I love the Resort Fees many resorts like Hilton include. The current ammenities included are:
free Local calls
Use of the safe
Payment via credit card
Daily paper
free inroom coffee
Non-Valet Parking
Tennis facilities.
Ammenities soon to be included:
Daily TV use
Use of the Balcony
Flushing of the Toilet
Bedding
Soap, Shampoo, and Toilet paper.
The way things are heading, the room fee and tax will cover the square footage and electricity. EVERYTHING else will be more money over the room rate.
We travel 10 times a year and it is clear that the ammenities are decreasing down while the price goes up.

This guy is a moderator on the Hilton board.
I really hope not for too long, especially if he keeps up the incessant whining up.
Ever stay a hotel before Paul? Any hotel?

Why are you so critical of the HHW and HWV? An axe to grind? What are your motives?
Any positive experiences?
You are on a free stay vacation -- RELAX.

What I hate is that one can't assert one's rights nor object to others' out-of-line practices anymore without being accused of 'whining.'
When I was a kid, whining referred to the tone of voice.
To me as an adult, whining is constant complaining about something to which one is not entitled in the first place or about which one is too lazy to do something.

Your posts are pretty amusing, BTW. If people want to read real whining there are numerous other posts around that are far better examples.

wow, more stir.
We spend so much time in the pool, and doing everything else, it seems easy to poke fun. But seriosuly, we don't really care too much. It's purely money to blow and half of it is paid for in points.
We do FlyerTalk in our leisure time, like traveling and sampling Hiltons. As for wifey, she gets a kick out of the replies as we read together. As long as a few people see the humor, that's all that matters I guess.
Because we travel so much and this is our main source of fun, we understand why people who don't get to travel as much call this whining.
We are enjoying oursleves and having a great time.

I find Paul GQ's posts funny - I think I don't agree with everything, but I also think that some people seem to fail to see that a lot of the "whining" is said with a little 
. And the point Paul GQ is making with this thread is a valid one.
