Were Improperly Assessed "Resort Fees" at Starwood Hotels |
| NEW YORK - April 8, 2004
-- Notice is hereby given that Paskowitz & Associates has filed and
is prosecuting a class action suit on behalf of persons who paid a "resort
fee" in connection with a stay at a hotel run by Starwood Hotels &
Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) ("Starwood Hotels"). Starwood Hotels
presently operates or franchises hotels under the names Sheraton, Westin,
The Luxury Collection, St. Regis, W, and Four Points by Sheraton. The class
action is brought on behalf of Florida residents or those who stayed in
a Florida Starwood Hotel from February 28, 1998 to the present, but may
be expanded to cover Starwood Hotels guests nationwide. The Complaint alleges
that class members were improperly assessed "resort fees" in addition to
quoted room rates, and legitimate taxes. It is alleged that class members
were not properly made aware of such fees, or that the fees were sometimes
misrepresented as "taxes."
In our continuing investigation of these claims, Paskowitz & Associates would be interested in hearing from Starwood Hotels guests, travel agents who booked customers into Starwood Hotels, and people who negotiated "group contracts" for a group of persons who might wish to book a stay at a Starwood Hotel. |
