CREATED Aug. 16, 2012

Do you feel like your being nickle and dimed by airline fees? Well guess what, hotels are also hitting customers with countless fees.

A New York University study says U.S. hotels are on track to collect a record $1.95 billion this year. That's 3.5% more than hotels made last year.

Higher fees and daily "resort fees" are credited as part of the reason for the increase. Some of the fees you might find on your hotel bill include: early reservation cancellation fees, internet fees, telephone call surcharges, room service surcharges, and automatic gratuities.
