Sneaky additional room charges
I've noticed some hotels are starting to introduce additional charges that are not shown on the initial room price. They are listed as additional charges.
When browsing the IHG site, I can see a price for a room, but when the additional charges are added on, the price of the room can increase by another 25-30% per night!
These additional charges can be things like local taxes, tourism charges and, now, a surcharge for non-sole occupancy.
I imagine a lot of people travel as a couple and book a room for two adults. I've never seen a surcharge for double occupancy before. In fact the room description states the room is for two adults.
Should IHG insist that hotels display the ACTUAL price per night on the IHG site rather than a greatly reduced but inaccurate price?
I find this tactic very misleading.
