Hotels, resorts accused of charging too many 'fees,' sending fed-up vacationers overseas for cheaper deals

In the "r/travel" forum on Reddit, one user asked, "Just me or is the U.S. now far and away the most expensive place to travel to?"

Fellow Redditors weighed in, with many sharing that they think it's cheaper to plan trips abroad.

Another user said, "We wanted to plan a trip to Colorado, and with hotel, flights and car rental, we ended up booking a trip abroad instead as it was close to the full cost of our domestic trip."

In the "r/travel" forum, another person wrote, "What is up with the recent trend of hotels charging extra to use the facilities?"

"I have been charged 'resort fees' (mostly in the States) in the past that I suppose are just as cheeky, but I am talking now about regular hotels that almost never advertise prior to the reservation that the facilities cost extra," the post on Reddit said. 

Travelmation supervisor and advisor Mallory Dumond told Fox News Digital that the firm, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is "definitely seeing an uptick in hotel fees, but it's more prevalent in the tourist hot spots."

Dumond also said international travel has been attractive to a lot of her clients.
