 Marriott was issued a subpoena on June 6, 2017 by the Attorney General of Washington, DC regarding their non-cooperation in the investigation, as the hospitality industry continues to stall any legislative solution to the issue.In the United States there is no specific legislation that either allows or outlaws undisclosed fees, such as resort fees.In 1997 some resort hotels began to charge a mandatory resort fee, regardless of which facilities were actually used by a guest.
