Exactly - we as consumers should be given a "choice" by letting us know about the price list of their services. I know most people will say it's too small to even bother. I actually like SPG's "announcement" page which all the practical information like family policy. I also saw some Hilton hotels instructing people what to put on the package in order to get to the right guest.
We like to order things online while in the US and we normally have them shipped to limited services hotels as we have never been charge for it. A FTer told me that he was charged $15 for having a Marriott GC sent to a hotel in SD! That doesn't make any sense at all!
