**URL**: ```/v1/hotels/hotel-info/get```

### Goals

Get general information about a hotel.

### Notes

The information returned by this message includes the `@TaxPolicy` attribute, which is
**very** important later when updating rates. This value tells you whether the hotel sets
rates including taxes or not. You will need to use either `@AmountAfterTax` or
`@AmountBeforeTax` respectively later when loading rates.
