We saw this one coming. The travel industry has been hit by the economy — people are traveling less because their expenses up and jobs aren't as secure as they used to be, and gas prices have caused airlines to barely stay in business. Hotels are a main component of the travel formula, and they're beginning to express their hardships in the form of fees and fine print.
Some hotels are imposing cancellation policies that entail giving notice weeks before a scheduled stay, and the penalty for canceling after the given date may result in a charge for the total stay. Paying for an unused hotel room? How frustratingly expensive. Before you book an accommodation, be sure to ask about their cancellation policy and make note of it if you go through with making a reservation.

i think that if they start to make cancellations too far in advance then they'll see that no one will book at all. i have to make sure that i can at least cancel 1 day prior if necessary cause that's reasonable to me - but otherwise, i'll go elsewhere.
there are so many nonsense fees that are charged when you go to hotels. i was watching a program on TV a few months back that showed all the things that you're charged for that you should be charged for if you read it, and most people don't. for myself - i was just on vacation, and even when i was checking out of the hotel at 4am to catch my flight, i was debating with the guy about things that i shouldn't have to pay for. it's a pain in the butt!
1Atlantic City charges you for the room, taxes, and occupancy. The thing is, not all the hotels charge the same rates for occupancy. Here's an example of how they charge:
