Booked a rate a while back for the Hilton Bayfront & I periodically check in the run up to my stay to see if the price drops (cancel & rebook at lower price if applicable).

Noticed that they're charging an Urban Destination Fee - "Daily Mandatory Urban Destination Charge will be added to the room rate and includes: Premium guest internet access; daily $35 food & beverage credit valid for use in Vela, Odysea, & Pool Club hotel restaurants, and in-room dining; 1-hour bicycle, kayak, or paddle-board rental"

Now I know its somewhat of a wash with the F&B credit, but its a nasty way to force you to spend $35 on site with them - to all intents and purposes its a back door rate increase. They're going to piss a ton of people off with this regardless of the credit.
