Maybe true, but I don't think that's the real driver behind all these fees at hotels. It's the buying public who book on consolidator sites, sort by price, and click on the cheapest thing they see. Quality doesn't win over those guests, nor would a transparent pricing model. Now, whether or not an upscale property should even *want* those guests is another matter...
