Choose a hotel online that does not charge this compulsory fee.
Or, if they are dead set on staying at LBH then book the nights, but do not book NYE then go budget for a night.Hotel will hold bags.
I have heard some hotels will negotiate at reception-as in threaten that you will cancel and stay somewhere else.But if you have booked and paid you will need to be conversant with the cancellation clause.
