1. So, if this sounds like the hotel you want to stay at, fee free, just don't say that you were not warned in advance.

"The Knickerbocker, where they charge you for everything!! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/22/2011 Vote

2. We booked though Prcieline and paid a slightly higher fee for free in-room Internet access.

3. When we arrived, they told us there was a $30 upgrade fee per night for requesting 2 double beds (which was never shared during the phone conversation!) In addition to adding to our bill, they continued to tell us that even though we had booked a month in advance, all double bed rooms were taken.

4. Two negatives of note: shower door leaked and created a minor flood every time it was used and wi-fi was only available for a $9.95 daily fee.

9. I found that ancillary fees exist in hotels too, it's ridiculous and the hotel charges you for every little thing.

"Very nice hotel but only if $5 OJ glass & $7 coffee are acceptable. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/21/2010 Vote

10. This is the only hotel where I have had to pay an upgrade fee ($40) for a room with 2 beds , seemed like a little much considering the hotel didn't seem very full.
