I went back to The Hilton website and loaded a future stay and sure enough it shows a $27.50 "Mandatory Charge" per night. That is regardless of whether it is a points or cash stay.
The funny thing is I checked a couple of other Hiltons in Burlington and they have no such charges.
Should I complain to Hilton, The hotel, or just let it go?
Sounds very petty to be charging that in a town like Burlington (or anywhere in Vermont). I stayed earlier this summer a few minutes away at the Doubletree in South Burlington, and they had no such fees to my knowledge.
