Will the hotel waive the fees if I do not use the services?

A hotel won't waive the fees if you don't ask. I think the important thing to do is, if you see a fee on your bill that you're unhappy about, or for a service or amenity that you did not use, ask in a reasonable way if that fee can be waived. Very often hotels will accommodate that, but not always. You won't know unless you ask.
