A rule of thumb for the cost of a rail spur is $100 per lineal foot (not including right of way, grading, engineering or switches.)

A resort fee is a (usually unadvertised) mandatory fee tacked onto a nightly room rate. Fees can be as low as $3.50 per night at the Clarion Inn & Suites at International Drive, Orlando (they call this one a safe fee), to as much as $60 per night for the St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort, Puerto Rico.
Honestly I think the resort fee's are the true base cost of the operating expense of the hotel room. I say this because even free room get charged a resort fee and if you think about it the $30 sounds about right for the cost of the room you are renting and to pay the labor / electricity on it.
