    Was going through some paperwork for our CPA and in doing so found a telling receipt relative to travel: Fairfield Inn, last spring, somewhere out in the Great California Central Valley ... $190.40.

    But by god, they didn't charge me a resort fee, so that made it all OK.

    You didn't get any free warm water, either.

    I'm with you Ken, I couldn't care less how they want to package the total cost. Resort fees don't bother me a bit; I just wish they'd be transparent with them so I wouldn't have to waste so much time on booking sites trying to figure out what the total cost is going to be.

    Well, that's less than I pay for a room in Las Vegas.

    OK, I have to admit I got a bargain this year at Paris. I'm only paying $167/night.

    But at Caesars, The Wynn, etc., it's easy to go over $200/night.

    Then I suggest the Fairfield Inn in Kingsburg, CA for the immense value that $190 brings!! You can go the Sun-Maid Raisin factory store!!!

    For us Vegas is still a good value we had been vacationing in Vegas only for the last 10 years then last spring we had to go to a graduation in Boston Mass stayed at the historic Buckminster Inn Hotel for 3 day's at $ 380.00 a night and $40.00 a day parking, $1260.00 for 3 nights and we had to walk everywhere because of the lack of parking and the food and drinks were double the price we are used to paying, never got to go to any of the historic sites because we did not want to walk that far so we just did drive byes. All in all we really did not enjoy or even like are time there and will only go back if we have to for family reasons.

    We're going to a wedding in SF in September. It's only a few hours driving but we might fly and use transit and Uber/Lyft. Last time we were there the parking fee was almost as much as the room rate! For one night it made sense but if we're there three ...

    It's all relative, as many of us note when the resort fee hits the proverbial fan.

    Hi Ken - usually love your posts here... but the title made me look..... not sure what the question was - but paying for a CPA is often not a "value" - LOL!
