Great condo but too many fees

We usually stay at a different condo in this building but it was already booked. Opted for this one instead and it was very clean, no issues. I do have to note that there are way too many fees for this booking so we won’t be staying here in the future. Unlike the other condo we use, there’s a parking fee and a laundry fee (automatically added to booking fees). The service fees are also higher.
