Is that normal?? I mean, we're spending SOOOOOOO much money at this location, PLUS ALL of our guests are staying in the same hotel.........which is theirs, and they STILL want to charge us this.........

Has anyone else experienced this?

I think that is totally rediculous!! $2.50 for the people behind the dest to hand something to someone!!! That would piss me off!!!!!!

Thats definitly something new and something i have never heard of. The hotel should be doing this for you out of courtesy for using their hotel for your wedding guests. They seem to just be trying to cash in wherever they see the oppurtunity. When i called my hotel to tell them i planned on bringing over OOT boxes the week of the wedding they said not a problem. Thats just ridiculous

I agree!!! My FI and I are sooooo annoyed about this! It's the Hyatt too!!! We're going to see if there is any way they can take that fee off.......... It's just ridiculous!

But if they don't then we'll have to pay it.......that's what makes us SOOOOOO angry

Are they insane?!?!? Give me their number and I'll tell them just how dumb and money hungry they are! There is no fee for handing over the room key and there should be no fee for doing this! Idiots!!!
I really hope you resolve this. Let me know if I can help.

$5??????? That's insane.

Mine charges $1 per room. My BM works for a very upscale hotel in NYC and I know they charge, too. Anyway to make a buck....

i've looked into hotels and a few of them had a charge, but it was only $1! arent they already getting paid? what big deal is it to give some one a bag with their room key?? $2.50 is crazy.
