underwhelming stay and surprise charges

surprise chargesamenity fee
The hotel seemed okay initially. i found extra charges added to my bill upon checkout. A real gotcha. there was also an additional daily fee, supposedly for amenities. What a joke. i wish these costs had been disclosed more clearly before i booked. it was like a sneaky way to squeeze more money out of guests.
