Airbnb is really bad about this. Advertising lodging for $100 and then suddenly when you go to book there's an additional $100/night of fees.

Hotels can be even worse. They will add a "resort fee" when you show up. You can refuse to pay, and then have nowhere to stay.
I was on a business trip once and remember seeing something in the fine print of the rental agreement that they wouldn’t auto-charge me for my (unused) safe if I requested it at the front desk. It was like $5, and I only bothered because it wasn’t my money.

Bet most people never even see that though

Hotels don’t charge a cleaning fee, then fine you for not ckeaning.
Omg is that really a thing? I've never witnessed it
It's probably not industry-wide, but I could see some places doing that.

They really let lodging providers get away with murder.

Airbnb hosts are notorious for it.
