In addition to the sales tax, there is also a 6% hotel tax on the rental of rooms in hotels, motels or lodging houses. That hotel tax is not the statewide sales and use rate.

Eating and/or Drinking establishment (which must additionally collect and remit the 1% local meals and beverage tax). That local meals and beverage tax is not the statewide sales and use rate.
