Shameless and ethically bankrupt, several are. It's been nice seeing some of these franchise owners squirm under COVID. Be a ....., karma will bite

Maybe I should buy a hotel, then charge as follows:
Base rate : $50
Sustainability fee : $20
Housekeeping fee $10
Air Conditioning fee $10
Electricity surcharge $10
Water surcharge $10
Amenity surcharge $10 (1 time refill, extra amenity will be charged accordingly)
Maintenance fee $10
Laundry surcharge $10
From $50 rate magically grow to $140 revenue!
Marriott should hire me!

Note that the AC fee is *not* only charged during the summer season. In fact, I was charged an AC surcharge long ago in a hotel that was not required to have its AC turned on so early in the season (before July 15th in Italy).
