Hotel Fees Transparency Act of 2025

Bill 119 HR 1479, also known as the "Truth in Hotel Advertising Act of 2021," aims to prevent unfair and deceptive advertising practices related to the pricing of hotel rooms and other short-term lodging accommodations. The bill seeks to protect consumers from being misled by false or misleading pricing information when booking accommodations.

Under this legislation, hotels and other lodging establishments would be required to accurately disclose the total cost of a room, including all fees and taxes, in any advertisements or promotions. This would help ensure that consumers are not surprised by hidden fees or additional charges when they arrive at their destination.

The bill also includes provisions to prevent hotels from using deceptive tactics, such as advertising a room at a certain price and then adding on additional fees or charges at checkout. By promoting transparency and honesty in advertising, the Truth in Hotel Advertising Act aims to create a more fair and competitive marketplace for consumers. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1479 seeks to protect consumers from deceptive pricing practices in the hotel industry and promote greater transparency in advertising. If passed, this legislation would help ensure that consumers can make informed decisions when booking accommodations and avoid being misled by false or misleading pricing information.
