I wonder if I show them my Canadian passport if they'll charge me in USD? Assuming they use a close to real exchange rate, I can pay with a CC that even with a 3% bump for foreign transactions still would be worth doing to save 18%.

Anyone know how this works on hotels paid for online btw? Do they refund the tax? Or do they just never charge it in the first place? That said I think based on the airbnb prices I'll probably go that way so it might be moot
