Nightly rate ($)

Verdict

Fair

Cleaning fee is reasonable relative to the nightly rate and total stay.

Effective per-night cost

$220.00

Uplift of $40.00/night over listed rate

Total stay cost

$660.00

Cleaning as % of nightly

66.7%

Cleaning as % of total

18.2%

This is the same as paying $220.00/night all-in.

How cleaning fees actually work:

Stays over 5 nights amortize the cleaning fee across more nights — the per-night impact shrinks fast.
Short 1–2 night stays are punished hardest; cleaning can double your effective nightly rate.
If the cleaning fee exceeds 2 nights’ rate, compare a similar hotel — you may come out ahead.
