The hotel charges a mandatory resort fee of $20.00 per night, payable at time of booking. This fee includes wireless internet, free valet, 24-hour concierge & room service, 24-hour fitness center, daily newspaper at the front desk, access to The Signature and MGM Grand pool complex and lazy river ride.
I don't think they've done extensive research on this. I booked a room at a hotel near Disneyland that apparently has a resort fee (it's not a resort) of about $10, and there was no mention of the fee, or whether guests who book with getaroom have to pay it.
