To add to the hotel billing (mis)practice discussion, I just stayed at a very expensive hotel which proceeded to charge me 75c for each calling card call I placed from my room, claiming that "our phone company charges us a 75c access charge for those calls". If we ignore the fact that this is cheap, stingy behavior anyway, is it possible that they were telling the truth? Further, it was nowhere stated in my room that any such charge would be levied. While I couldn't be bothered to make a huge fuss over about $4.00, does a hotel not have to tell you if it's going to charge you for things that ought to be free?
