Example 3: City Code Search
Legacy support is provided to allow for searching by Bonotel-defined city codes. However, customers are strongly encouraged to migrate to a multiple hotel code search based on standardized geographic definitions. We are planning on retiring support for city code searching by mid-2025.

Availability Response - Hotel Fee XML Elements
Hotel Fees are returned per room.
Each room can have zero or more hotel fees regardless of the fee type. Some resort fees may be taxes sent by the hotel along with their dynamic rates.
The Hotel Fees are located here in our availability response:
availabilityResponse\hotelList\hotel\roomInformation\rateInformation\hotelFees
Below is a sample of the hotel fees elements that we return. In this case we are returning a resort fee that is required and exclusive for a total of $32.48 for the stay for the room it is listed under. We recommend only extracting and using the bold elements:
<hotelFees>
	<hotelFee>
		<feeType>Resort</feeType>
		<feeMethod>Exclusive</feeMethod>
		<requiredFee>Yes</requiredFee>
		<feeAssign>Per Room</feeAssign>
		<feeFrequency>Per Night</feeFrequency>
