Fairmont Hotel questions (taxes/ paying)

[uwanoyoyo]

I'm trying to see how much it would cost in total for hotels in advanced with my friends and we were wondering how much Fairmont charges for tax.
Was it 14% room+ 8%tax, etc??

Also for past experiences, was there an option for you to choose that would allow you to pay upfront with cash upon arrival, or can you only use a debit/credit card?

1) City Occupancy Tax 10% per room, per night
2) Convention Center Facilities District Tax (CCFD) 4% per room, per night
3) Business District Assessment (HBID) $2.50 per room, per night
4) California Tourism Assessment 0.065% per room, per night
5) Property Based Business Improvement District (PBID) $0.50 per room, per night

Don't forget to factor in parking which is valet only at Fairmont. As for paying with cash I know people have done so in the past, but I believe the hotel still needs a credit card for the security deposit.

Don't forget that most hotels will charge extra if using a debit card for deposits/incidentals.
your best bet is to call them directly to find out.

(The room rate will be different if you get it in the attendee block, but the taxes are the same)
