Can a hotel charge a guest a $250 hotel damage fee?
Anytime a hotel decides to charge a guest a $250 hotel damage fee; it should generate an incident report. This reporting is in the best interest of the hotel and the guest.

If the damage is so severe that it puts the room out of commision for days or weeks in order to make repairs, you could be charged for each night the room could otherwise be occupied.

Can You complain about a hotel after booking a room?
Yes, absolutely. Booking a hotel room is signing a contract, not unlike the one you sign when you rent an apartment or a house. You are supposed to check the room at arrival and, before making use of any of its facilities, inform the ‘duty manager’ when you’ve noticed a reason for complaint, such as damage and other shortcomings.
