Hotel Destination / Resort Fees Affect Per Diem

Please be aware that some New York City hotels, as well as hotels in other localities, now include Destination or Resort Fees in their rates.  A Destination or Resort Fee is a separate mandatory fee that a guest is charged by the hotel in addition to the base room rate.  These fees may not be widely advertised and they may not appear until later in the booking process.  Regardless, these fees must be considered as part of the Per Diem lodging rate.

When making hotel reservations please pay close attention to both the rates, terms and other fees.  This is a good practice regardless of where the hotel is located.

If you have questions it is recommended that you contact the hotel directly before reserving the hotel.  Additional questions should be directed to the Controller’s Office.
