Inn stay fee
A hotel tax is a levy on short-term lodging accommodations, typically charged as a percentage of the room rate.
Also called lodging tax, occupancy tax, or transient tax.
The revenue often funds local tourism promotion or infrastructure: The hotel tax adds 14% to your bill.
Most jurisdictions require short-term rental platforms like Airbnb to collect it as well.
