Grammar
Fee, charge, additional charge.......
For charges that apply for optional services and amenities of hotels,
some expressions can be found, which seem like the same to me.
Are there any difference in nuance?
To make them short, may I use (fee) for all the following examples?
-Dry cleaning available (fee)
-Valet parking (for additional fee)
-High speed internet access (additional fee may apply)
-Refrigerator available (Charge)
-Roll-away bed on request (for a charge)

Are you creating a list or discussing each one separately? If you are creating a list, I would simply say something like: The following services are available for an addition fee/charge: Dry cleaning services Valet parking High speed internet access In-suite refrigerator Roll-away bed You could say either (additional fee) or (service charge) -- these are equivalent. However, I would not say "additional fee may apply" unless there are cases where there are no fees for this service.

Yes, thank you very much for your answer.
I also wanted to know if "fee" and "charge" are
interchangeable in that context.
