这里有人说纽约收50%酒店税费，不解，问AI, 住$50旅馆的人真的交50%

No, 

New York City

 does not charge a 50% tax on hotel stays. The total combined tax rate for hotel guests in NYC is actually about 14.75% of the room rate, plus roughly $3.50 in flat daily fees.

Breakdown of NYC Hotel Taxes (2026)

The "50" you may have heard of likely refers to the 50-cent flat fee for rooms under $20, or a $50 incidental deposit hold often required at check-in. As of early 2026, the actual taxes are:

Important Changes for 2026

Starting February 21, 2026, a new law requires NYC hotels to include all mandatory "junk" fees—such as resort fees or facility fees—in their advertised nightly rates. While this doesn't change the tax rate, it means the price you see upfront will finally match your final bill before taxes.
