Some of the 'amenities' are insulting: a coupon book? Bottles of Pepsi water? Access to the pool? I agree that if properties added real value there would be less backlash and anger about these fees.

Perhaps even a choice of packages:

Resort Package A (maybe more business focused): parking, Enhanced Wifi, several pages of printer use, item pressed or cleaned, etc.

Resort Package B: maybe more for a family

Resort Package C: maybe includes almost everything you'd need
