Hotel Fax: What It Costs
A hotel business center or front desk sets its own fax fee. No hotel chain rate is cited here; the one hotel-hosted sheet we found is a UPS Store inside a hotel, linked below. Below it is the same send from your phone, from the room.
What a hotel business center charges
A price here is a published figure for the place named, not a rate every location charges.
No hotel chain rate is cited here. The one hotel-hosted sheet we found is a UPS Store inside a hotel (store 6086, the Hilton Austin, Texas), whose published sheet lists a domestic fax at $5.00 for the first page and $1.00 for each page after it, and incoming faxes at $1.00 per page. That is a UPS Store's price, not a hotel fee. Ask your front desk for its rate before the pages go through.
Receiving a fax there
The UPS Store inside the Hilton Austin charges $1.00 per page to receive, on its sheet. Ask your hotel's front desk whether it takes an incoming fax for a guest and what it charges.
SourceCounter versus phone
The counter column is computed from the figures above; the phone column is what FaxTerra charges.
What FaxTerra charges, from its own price list. The counter sets its own.
Every FaxTerra account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one. A document of up to 10 pages sends free, with no credit card.
Free pages reset on the 1st. If a second document takes you past 10 pages, a FaxTerra Lite pack covers it, with no subscription.
A fax number of your own
A hotel's fax number is the hotel's, and a reply to it reaches you only through the desk. To receive, you need a number of your own. A One-Time Fax Number is $14.99 once, live for 90 days with 50 pages and nothing to cancel; a Starter plan is $4.99 a month with a number included. Either way the fax lands in your inbox as a PDF and an email tells you it is there.
The same send from the room
Every FaxTerra account sends 10 free pages a month, with no card on file. Photograph the pages or upload the PDF at faxterra.com/send, type the number, and an email confirms delivery. Past the free pages, credit packs start at $1.99 and never expire. The hotel's Wi-Fi is enough.
