NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is at The Whitney to announce a new rule aimed at banning hidden junk fees for people booking hotels.

“If you do not change your practices, city government will change them for you,” he says.

This is the latest DCWP-involved crackdown on junk fees.

Today Zohran announced a new rule banning hidden junk fees at hotels.

The rule applies to NYC hotels, but also to hotel stays in other destinations that New Yorkers book in the city.

Mayor Mamdani is banning so-called junk fees at NYC hotels — resort fees, surprise credit card holds, deposits, etc. New rule starts in a month.

The House just passed a bill to ban hidden hotel resort fees so now it is on to the Senate and then the President (the FTC ban will be implemented soon but a law through Congress is always the best) https://t.co/XJFVQ3n7Yi

@alexlmiller @jonathankennell Ok but like what hotel? Please tell us. DMs are open.

[KILL(ed) RESORT FEES @killresortfees]

@vtimd @alexlmiller All the money from resort fees goes back into the hotel's general fund. You are not paying for any sort of amenity when you pay a resort fee. It's just a way for the hotel to lie about the advertised price (until about 120 days from now).

[KILL(ed) RESORT FEES @killresortfees]

@JackRuby1964 @AllenKessler They are illegal if not in advertised price already under many state laws.

@AllenKessler Interesting. Resort fees suck. Following

[Alex Miller @alexlmiller]

Sick of "Resort Fees" and "Destination Fees"? What about a hotel with both?

[KILL(ed) RESORT FEES @killresortfees]

@alexlmiller Alex my friend, what hotel is this?!? 😡

[KILL(ed) RESORT FEES @killresortfees]

@LuukeJohnston They have to now be included in the first advertised price.

Are you still seeing scammy hidden resort fees when you book a hotel? If so, please let me know! ([email protected])

@MamieWhiteesq @AJAmmirabilis @ZaidJilani When California banned junk fees Expedia disclosed to investors it hit their revenue. These fees are pervasive.
