I clicked on the IC hotel, and saw the following at the very top:
"Taxes and Fee Details:
The Hotel Facility Fee of $30 USD + Tax allows our guests to enjoy valuable benefits like complimentary bottled water, 24 hour access to Attitude Fitness center, priority access to Spire 73, discount card and special offers for local restaurants and merchants, access to digital newsstand with publications from around the world, complimentary premium internet access. Domestic and International calling* (International calling up to 30 minutes daily). Complimentary package receiving (up to 5 packages per stay, bulky items not included)."

This fee seems to be for this specific IC, since some other ICs don't have such small prints when I searched.
