Zohran Mamdani, the new New York City mayor has taken steps to ban "junk" fees (destination/resort/amenity fees) imposed by NYC hotels. All hotels must now include these in advertised prices.



This came into effect on Feb 21, and it's definitely makes it easier to compare hotels and estimate how much you pay. Many still don't include taxes in the advertised price, so need to account for that (unless, for example you tick the appropriate boxes on the Marriott or IHG websites/apps to generate all inclusive pricing).
