What's reasonable for extra fees?

What do you think "reasonable" extra fees are, if any, and what amount would be reasonable?

When flipping through the Marriott site, I see a hotel which is asking $128/night. PLUS $25/day for a "resort" fee, PLUS $22/day for parking. So the fees create an almost 40% markup on the advertised rate. Adding insult to injury, the property is a ratty 1970s Sheraton in need of an overhaul. Likewise, there's plenty of parking and many nearby hotels are offering free parking. It just feels completely misleading at this point.
