Work from $2.90 a night per room for Mexico City: nights × rate (× category where applicable) is the whole formula, and the widget above runs it for your dates. Family of 4, 5 nights = $14.50 — the same as a solo traveler, because Mexico City taxes the room rather than the guests. It ranks #30 of 49 tracked city regimes by nightly tourist tax, and the rate is flat across categories — collected by the hotel at check-out.
