What the Urban Fee includes
Arlo Midtown adds a mandatory Urban Fee of $37 plus tax per room, per night to all reservations. The hotel applies this fee on top of the nightly room rate, and it is disclosed separately from prepaid totals on some third-party bookings.
The Urban Fee explicitly covers in-room high-speed Wi‑Fi, two canned waters daily, daily Citi Bike passes (via the Lyft app), access to on-demand Alo Moves fitness content, local/domestic phone calls, and 24/7 access to the fitness center.
If you rely on free Wi‑Fi, note that in-room high-speed Wi‑Fi is part of the Urban Fee rather than bundled in the base rate; public-area Wi‑Fi is also available according to listings. If you need clarification or have questions about how the fee appears on your bill, ask the front desk at check-in.
