Anyone ever had success getting a resort fee waived? Hotels in San Antonio are booked solid but they have availability at the JW Marriott but the $40/day resort fee is kind of hard to justify.

No. Resort fee is payable to the government. They will hardly ever waive. Just expense if it’s for work.

Just expense it as part of the hotel room cost

If you book with points, the resort fee is then typically waived

Agreed with AT1.i got mine waived in Vegas last year using points

PWC1, since when are resort fees ever paid to the government? They're a way for hotels to pad their bottom line, nothing more, and hotels will often waive them if you have a good reason (e.g., I'm just staying here for work and won't be using any of the things your resort fee is supposed to pay for)

I would just ask a manager or gm then .won't hurt

They’ll waive the fee as well if you book enough people in a block. Not that this applies to you, but PWC1 is ... incorrect to put it mildly.

Yeah, final four this week. Good luck with a decent rate

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.
