Resort fees' at non-resort hotels

Booked a standard room at an airport hotel for $140/night. When checking out, there's a $35/day 'Destination Resort Fee.' What resort?! The outdoor pool has been closed since 2019, the 'fitness center' is a room with two dumbbells, and the 'high-speed Wi-Fi' barely loaded my email!

Airline carry-on luggage rules are a total free-for-all now

Why bother having size limits for overhead bins if boarders are allowed to bring hard-shell suitcases the size of a wardrobe, plus a full backpack, plus a garment bag, and then shove them sideways across two slots? Meanwhile, people in Zone 4 get forced to gate-check a normal bag because the bins are full of oversized luggage.
