This Hyatt Charges A Destination Fee For The View...

I am from Boston. I certainly don't think the view is worth any extra penny. What a ridiculous claim by the hotel.

Makes it easy to decide which hotels NOT to book!!

Without any asterisks (*), I'm quite confident this $25 is well worth it if you play your cards correctly.

Let's see if their management reads this blog or not.

I do see 2 items that might help to offset the fee.

$10 nightly food credit
$10 daily self parking credit (if you have a car)

I love that it includes baked beans. That is a new one.

Airlines were happily playing these silly games up until the feds put an end to it and mandated they advertise fares with all taxes and fees. Time for hotels to suffer the same fate. These resort and destination fees constitute false advertising and consumer fraud. There is no reasonable justification for them. Charge for these services a la cart or raise the rates.

Since they don't charge for roll-away bed fees, wouldn't it be interesting if everyone requested one. The number needed, space for storage and staff time rolling beds up and down the halls would be impressive.

I hope it's a vending machine package of the candied peanuts that go by that name and not actual baked beans out of a hotel pan over sterno for 12 hours.

Cool, another Hyatt property to avoid, making status even harder to retain given their weak distribution of properties.

I've stayed at this Hyatt a few times and have enjoyed my stays there, but most of the time their rates are hard to justify for what you get. Yes, it does have really good views of the airport and Boston Harbor, but you can get those elsewhere without paying $25. If I'm staying next to the airport, it's because I have a late arriving or early departing flight. At best, I might spend 10-12 hours max at the hotel, and 90% of that time I'll be sleeping and not taking in the $25 view.

Lol @ parking. The $10 off is what everyone pays as everyone is staying at the hotel and paying the dest. fee. There’s only one price.

And 8-24hr parking is $46 to start

It's meaningless to say that it's worth it because you have no choice whether or not to pay it.
It may be that the room price, fee included, is worth it. Or not.

Ben, come on! They would have sold me with the free faxes!
Jokes aside, there's a whole of nothing on that list 🙂

There's a whole lot of value missing from Boston hotels...

Unlike Marriott, at least Hyatt and Hilton waive resort/destination fees on free night awards. This is a major reason for me switching my loyalty from Marriott to Hyatt. I have tons of Marriott points I’m attempting to burn up. But I will only use them at properties that don’t charge those fees.

Recently had a paid stay at this Hyatt and I was not impressed. The view was nice but "the premium" internet wasn't premium at all. I didn't get a bag with beans or the newspaper and they charged me 3 0ne-way tickets for the water taxi despite the fact that I had a rental and was in their parking lot. None of those "benefits" where offered. Luckily, just by asking in the front desk, due to globalist status, I was waived the destination fee and the parking fee. Definitely will not stay there again in the future.

I'm looking from a different angle. Yes one could argue just purely on the final bill, but then it's no different than comparing an all inclusive hotel with a room only hotel.

Yes I have no choice but to pay $25. But what if I can actually get more than $25 out of it. Then it's worth it. At least to stick it up Hyatt's face. Remember the other property than a Tesla charge is included, if you charge enough than it's worth it.

I am not sure why bother being loyal to a hotel frequent stay program when I am now being charged for many of the so called “benefits” I previously earned with my program status.

Guests should have the option to refuse the services and therefore the fee.

I stayed in the Boston, Tremont Nine Zero in late Jan 2022
My first and last time. The hotel is gloomy and the lighting in the common areas is dim and all the dark wood makes for a very poorly lit hotel. The lighting in the rooms is also poor. No over head light. Just a selection of desk and standing lamps.

My biggest gripe is - yes you guessed it - the $25+Taxes facility fee.

Bearing in mind “due to Covid” the restaurant and bar are closed and all they could offer was a morning coffee in the foyer - not even a cookie to go with it. No coffee maker in room only water at $8 per bottle.

I know things are not normal but all totalled up I just paid $498 for 2 nights is a very average room. When I challenged the facility the receptionist was not interested and just gave me a phone number / email address.

Not going back there again

Thank you for this information. I’ll be crossing it off my list.
