I first learned about that fee in Las Vegas. They were calling it a “resort fee,” but it’s the same thing.
They justify it because you technically get something for it (free drink from hotel bar, use of the gym, etc) but you don’t get a choice if you pay it or not, even if you don’t claim any of the items you’re entitled to.
Feels like a sneaky cover charge or drink minimum. Just add it to the actual price, dangit! I eat and drink where I please and sure as heck don’t want to work out on vacation!
Oh, Boston is in on the racket too, huh?
