Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hotel associations like the AH&LA (American Hotel & Lodging Association) do lobby on behalf of the hotel industry, but their success varies by jurisdiction, and there is no uniform rule across all jurisdictions that limits hotel room sales to only one class of sales tax. Different states and localities can have varying tax rates and types applied to hotel room sales, including state sales tax, local sales tax, and special hotel or tourism taxes.
