Residence Inn New York Downtown Manhattan/World Trade Center Area destination fee
Was looking to book this using points and saw during checkout that there's a $25 destination fee.
Anyone know what this is about? At least the Marriott next door advertises what it's for (while still burying the fact that it's mandatory). The Residence sneaks this up on you during checkout and provides absolutely zero information about what it is.

Hi,
Doing a dummy booking this is what is shown
It is shown under the govt taxes and fees line as a separate line
Daily destination fee of 25.00 includes activities etc
No further breakdown ( other hotels i think do print more details and provide more benefits
If not quoted at the time of making the reservation you may have a case for not paying it?
Regards
TBS
