Top Discounts You're Missing on Marriott
From resort fees that average $50 per night at luxury properties to parking charges in major cities, Marriott travelers face a growing list of add-on costs that do not appear until checkout. Here is what to watch for and how to fight back.
Marriott Bonvoy's 30-brand portfolio means enormous variety in pricing and amenities, but it also means enormous variety in hidden fees. A Courtyard by Marriott in a mid-size city may charge nothing beyond the room rate, while a JW Marriott in Miami layers resort fees, valet parking, and mandatory gratuities that can push the nightly total past $400. The inconsistency makes it easy to underestimate your real cost.
