I realize that we are in a period of inflation, but the brazen attempt by the St. Regis Chicago to pass off a phony inflation “surcharge” as a tax is really pathetic.
Now the hotel is at it again, with a 3.5% surcharge masked as a tax.
A reader was dining earlier this week at Miru, the hotel’s Japanese restaurant (as an aside, he said the food was not great either). When he received the bill, he noticed a “restaurant surcharge” line item on the bill directly below the subtotal and above the tax.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
