I have problems with this sometimes because I don't use many of the more expensive items/services here. But my rational is that I like living with people who do use those facilities. I like the people who like the hot tub and for which it is very important --even if there are only 5. The same for the kids room, game room, exercise room, etc. I am changing my mind about the laundry room, however. We frequently have to replace and repair the machines and it is often because of how they are used -- too much detergent is the biggie. And only a few household use it. I now think a low fee is appropriate -- one that covers costs. The laundry room and the hot tub have ongoing costs. The other facilities are less high maintenance on a monthly basis. But I also think we should have a charge for guest room use beyond a minimum. We now have a donation amount of $25 a night but I'm not sure it is paid very often. But some people use it a total of several weeks a year and others a few days. Others none. And there is an ongoing expense for linens.They just disappear.
