So let me start:

- i booked a prepaid rate
- 48 H after booking the amount was deducted from my credit card
- i am RA , so no automatic amenity fee added even when booking prepaid via the IHG-app
- i did not have to pay any extras upon checkout except my airport transfer

so this is how your folio should look like WITHOUT amenity fees

Accomodation
Sales tax $8.875%
City tax $5.875

Occupancy tax $4
