Do hotels charge you for watching TV?

Unless a guest pays for a movie, all of the TV channels and content provided on that guestroom TV is free to the guest (FTG). However, hoteliers pay for that content, and the price keeps going up. It is not uncommon for a hotel to pay between $10 and $15 per room, per month for FTG TV content.


How much do hotels charge for long-distance calls?

But direct-dial long-distance is charged an operator-assistance fee of $2.12, plus $1 to $1.50 a minute, plus the AT&T daytime rate. So a two-minute long-distance call that would be, say, 50 cents from home would cost at least $4.62 at a Westin.
