Wanted to add another property to this nonsense Destination Access Fee. SpringHill Suites Oceanside is now applying this fee including points bookings.
Now, I have stayed at this property when it first opened (as well as almost every free breakfast property in San Diego in the Marriott chain using certs over the years), and it has a great design with a rooftop pool. However, it is not a premium property and self parking is shared with the beach goers.
I also believe there should be all-in pricing in the room rate, but I suspect the lobbying will not make this happen.
It would take enough guests not booking these properties to maybe stop it, but many people book these regardless.
I agree that Vegas is the worst for this, but at least there is enough pressure and competition on room prices to make total cost deals possible even in prime locations.
