Hotels can no longer hide this one thing from travelers

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced a new rule that will help protect travelers from all those unwanted add-on fees. 

The rule tackles "Unfair or Deceptive Fees."

These are sometimes applied to short-term lodging as "resort" or "destination" fees when customers use hotel amenities such as pools or gyms.
