Understanding the Davenport Hotel destination/resort fee
The Davenport Hotel adds a mandatory daily destination/resort amenity fee to room bills; the exact amount varies by date and booking (reported roughly between $10 and $22). The fee typically covers a daily food & beverage credit, bike rental time, and in-room or on-property internet access, and can be waived for Marriott Bonvoy Gold-and-above elites per the hotel's information.

What the destination/resort fee is
The Davenport Hotel charges a mandatory daily destination (also called an amenity or resort) fee that is added to the room rate at booking or check-in. Amounts available in public listings vary by date and distribution channel, so the per-night number you see when shopping may not be final.
This fee is separate from the quoted nightly rate and covers specific on-property amenities rather than general taxes or incidental charges.
- The fee is mandatory (applies per room, per night).
- Reported amounts in public sources range roughly from $10 up to about $22 (varies by date/source).
- It is added on top of the room rate — check your final folio before paying.
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Type | Daily destination / amenity fee (mandatory) |
| Amount | Varies by date and booking source (roughly $10–$22 reported) |
| Applied | Per room, per night (added to the room bill) |
What the fee typically includes
Public information and guest reports list several specific inclusions that the fee covers. The most consistently mentioned items are a food & beverage credit, bicycle rental time, and enhanced internet access.
Some reports and guest notes also reference local shuttle service or short transfers among Davenport properties or nearby attractions as part of the amenity package — that may vary by date and exact offer.
- Daily food & beverage credit (reported in some sources as a set daily amount).
- Daily bike rental for a limited period (commonly a two-hour rental in guest reports).
- In-room or higher-speed Wi‑Fi access (public-area Wi‑Fi is free).
- Occasional inclusion of shuttle service around downtown (subject to availability).
| Included service | What sources report |
|---|---|
| Food & beverage credit | Included in some listings; amount varies |
| Bike rental | Daily limited rental time reported (e.g., two hours) |
| Internet | In-room high-speed Wi‑Fi may be covered |
Who pays it and who might be exempt
The fee is charged to the guest's room folio and applies to reserved rooms unless a waiver or exemption is specified by the hotel. It is billed regardless of whether you use every amenity included.
According to the hotel's information, Marriott Bonvoy Gold-and-above elite members may have the destination/amenity fee waived. Other exemptions are not consistently documented across public sources, so ask the front desk if you believe you qualify for a waiver.
- Applies per room, per night by default.
- Marriott Bonvoy Gold-and-above elites reported as eligible for a waiver.
- If unsure, ask the reservation agent or front desk — policies and eligibility can change.
| Guest type | Reported status |
|---|---|
| Standard guests | Fee applies |
| Marriott Bonvoy Gold+ members | Fee can be waived (per hotel info) |
| Other elites or groups | Check with hotel for exceptions |
How the fee appears on your bill
The destination fee is typically listed on the hotel folio as a separate line item described as a destination, resort, or amenity fee. It may appear at booking as an addition to the displayed nightly rate or be added at check-in depending on the booking channel.
Because different booking platforms and dates show different fee amounts, always review the final price breakdown before confirming a reservation. If the fee isn't clear, request a written estimate from the hotel or your booking agent.
- May appear at time of booking or be added at check-in.
- Shown as a separate line item on the folio (not included in base room rate).
- Ask BookResorts agents (+1 (888) 605-1350) or the hotel front desk for a detailed breakdown if unclear.
| When it might show | What to do |
|---|---|
| During booking | Check total price and fees; ask agent for clarification |
| At check-in | Request a printed folio showing the fee and inclusions |
| On final bill | Verify line-item description and any waivers |
Practical tips to get value from the fee
If the fee includes a food & beverage credit, plan to use it at Palm Court Grill, the Peacock Room Lounge, Lobby Bar, or Emporium during your stay so the credit offsets on-site dining. Confirm with staff where the credit applies and whether gratuity is covered (usually not).
Reserve bicycles or request the shuttle early if those items are part of the amenity package and you want to use them — availability can be limited on busy dates.
- Ask at check-in exactly how the food & beverage credit works and which outlets accept it.
- Reserve bike rentals or shuttle slots early — they may be limited.
- If you won’t use the included services, consider asking if a waiver is available (e.g., Marriott elite status).
| Strategy | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Confirm inclusions at check-in | Avoid surprises and plan use of credits |
| Use credit at on-site restaurants/bars | Maximizes the value of the fee |
| Ask about waivers if you qualify | May eliminate the charge entirely |
Questions to ask the front desk or BookResorts before you go
Before arrival, request a clear written list of what the destination/resort fee includes for your specific stay dates and whether any items require advance booking. Policies and inclusions can change, and the exact amount may differ by date or distribution channel.
Also ask how the fee is shown on your invoice, whether Marriott Bonvoy status will waive it, and whether you need to take any action at check-in to activate included services such as bike rentals or Wi‑Fi upgrades.
- What is the exact per-night fee for my stay dates?
- What services does the fee cover during my stay (food credit amount, bike rental time, shuttle availability, Wi‑Fi speed)?
- Are there any items that must be reserved in advance (bike rentals, shuttle spots)?
- Will my Marriott Bonvoy status waive the fee and how is that documented?
