It depends a bit from what market you are from. I consider additional local taxes to be a scam as in my market all rates have to be tax inclusive. I do however not find an extra charge for a second person in a room to be a scam as in my market hotel rooms used to be generally quoted by the person (30 years ago) and the price per room is a rather "modern" development.
