My solution simply bundles the resort fee into the bid. The user does not know (or need to know) if there's a resort fee as they have already paid it (if applicable) in their bid. If you bid $120, it would look at hotel A with a $40 resort fee as an $80 bid for the room plus $40 resort fee. Hotel B with no resort fee would have the bid as $120 for the room.
