Are they clear up front about this fee?
If so, and you choose to stay there... then I would say you owe the fee...
Obviously your business/trade show organization took a decision to stay at that resort... and negotiated the rate.
Seems a bit late to be asking the resort to not get the agreed-upon-rate.
