watching that 4th of july forecast just beyond the seven day, and you'll want to keep checking back inorvestigator chris coomer is here to share some new guest benefits, thanks to two new state lodging laws. the first one requires hotels and vacation rentals to disclose all fees upfront. that means no more surprise resort amenity, cleaning or junk fees that just jack up the price. hotels and vacation rentals can still advertise room rates without tax, but all required fees must be part of the price you see up front. also, prices for room service menus must also include service fees up front. the california hotel association by the way, warned members that if they don't comply, they face government fines up to $10,000 per violation. the second new law mirrors airline law, and here's what it does. it gives you the option to cancel a hotel or vacation rental booking and get a full refund for the first 24 hours after you book. this is great news for savvy travelers who like to shop around, but the law has three important restrictions your right to cancel risk free within the 24 hour period.
