This was presumably one of Wyndham's more "budget" brands.
(I can't open your image since I'm at work and my work blocks that site.)
I've seen this same sort of "safe use charge" (added to the folio automatically unless you ask for it to be removed) at budget brands in other hotel groups, for example at some Quality Inn locations (in the Choice Hotels family).
