"I recently completed a 3‑night stay at The Lodge at Jackson Hole and was charged a $90 resort fee for amenities that were largely unusable during my visit. Unfortunately, the experience did not align with what was advertised or expected.
During my stay, the indoor pool area—which is one of the primary amenities included in the resort fee—was not usable. The jacuzzi was under construction, and the entire indoor pool area was dirty and cluttered with construction materials. When I asked the front desk staff on the last day whether I could use the amenities, they confirmed that the indoor pool and jacuzzi were available. But that was not correct. I also could not locate the sauna inside the pool area, and there was no clear signage or access.
Given the weather (around 40°F), using the outdoor pool or jacuzzi was not a realistic option. This meant that none of the advertised pool or spa amenities were actually accessible during my stay.
If amenities are unavailable due to construction or maintenance, this should be clearly communicated at the time of booking and at check‑in. Charging a resort fee under these circumstances is not appropriate, as guests are paying for services they cannot use.
I am requesting that the resort fee be waived or refunded, as the amenities it covers were not provided. Transparency and accurate communication are essential for a positive guest experience, and I hope the hotel will take this feedback seriously."
