In all fairness, the taxes you mention are not the fault of the hotel, but of the gov't jurisdiction the hotel is located in. And, these taxes are depressingly common and most egregious. The politicians figure that most hotel users are not residents, cannot vote one way or the other. And it is an easy way to raise revenue without hitting the people who live there.
That goes the same for car rental -- lots of surcharges there, too.
