According to USA Today:

Regis Philbin tipped a bellman at the Boca Raton Resort & Club last weekend, only to find out the bellman's tip was already built into his hotel bill.

Of course, this peeved Regis, and you don't want to irk Reg. As expected, he told an entire TV audience about his fleecing upon his return.

Boca was forced to respond:

"We didn't want guests to worry" about constantly tipping, says Anne Hersley-Hankins. "Normally, when a person checks in, it is explained. It should have been explained" to Philbin.

Yeah, right.

Other upscale resorts, including The Boulders Resort and Golden Door Spa in Arizona, tack on a daily service charge that includes bellmen's gratuities.

Know any other resorts that do this?  Let us know.

    Resort problems

    The Boca Raton Resort seems to have had a few bad reports recently, mostly about high cost and poor visitor experiences. I hope they get their act together and improve. Its not good for anyone in the Boca Raton Area.
