What is the room tax % in California?
Being from outside the USA I don't know the room tax applicable. I am trying to work out what the final total will be on some of the discount hotel sites but they don't provide this information.
Your advice will be appreciated.

Hotel room tax is often a local issue, not a state-wide rate. To be sure, you'll have to find out for specific cities. It's a major source of revenue for a lot of cities, in a way that may be more palatable to local residents than raising their taxes. I think it's rather high in some cities with a lot of conventions. In some smaller towns, I suppose it may be nothing, but in a lot of larger cities, I think it is often around 10 percent, but I know it is as high as 13-15 pct in some California cities (like Anaheim and maybe San Francisco). If you don't want to find out for every city you are visiting, I'd assume 10-12 pct, on average, for California.
