Does the $30 Kimpton La Peer resort fee apply to award nights?
While booking the Kimpton La Peer, I saw $30 + tax for resort fee. However, I don't see any mention of it in the booking confirmation e-mail of my award stay for next month.
Does the $30 Kimpton La Peer resort fee apply to Chase annual award night booking? If so, is it paid upon check-in?

AFAIK only Hilton explicitly exempts you from paying resort fees when using points / free night certificates.

Did you end up paying the resort fees ? I will be in that hotel next week so I was wondering as I came across a post stating that it should be included.

Yes, I did end up getting charged just under $35 for the resort fee.

Yes and No
At check in I asked because I had one night with Chase free night and one using 70K points. Agent was adamant that the $34 fee applied. No mention of the $20 credit for breakfast at the restaurant. It's listed in the reservation plus there was a small card with miniscule print in the key packet that mentioned it. So, after having a very unsatisfying $120 lunch at the restaurant, we went there for a light $40/2 breakfast. Complimentary coffee in the lobby was undrinkable--like water--so we needed coffee. At check out I noticed no $20/day breakfast credit, front desk agent said no resort fee on free nights, you weren't charged. What??!!!! We wouldn't have eaten there if I'd known that. Just one more example of the poor service at the La Peer during our stay.
