2. Internet fees. I've said it time and time again...why can Motel 6 provide free internet for a $40 room, but I have to pay $15 for internet in a $1000+ room. RIDICULOUS!!!
These 2 issues really annoy me too -- I usually find that the 18% is ALSO charged on the $5 delivery fee and have made it known after every luxury hotel stay of my displeasure of being dinged (in my case) thrice.

I am always puzzled why we have to pay for internet when a $69 room at Hyatt Place or Hampton Inn can offer it for free while a $500 plus room charges you for it.
