If you lived at the Motel 6 for an extended period, especially while working there, you may be entitled to a refund of sales tax if the charges were improperly applied. Many states exempt long-term residents from paying hotel occupancy taxes, which can include sales tax, depending on the state’s laws. Typically, if you stayed for more than 30 consecutive days without checking out, the charges should not have included those taxes. 
 
In your case, the key issue seems to be the practice of checking you out and back in every two weeks, even though you never left the property. This could complicate matters because it might appear you didn’t meet the long-term residency threshold. However, if this was done by the management without your consent and you can show proof that you continuously lived there, you may have grounds to argue that you were taxed incorrectly. 
 
You should review your receipts and gather evidence of your uninterrupted stay, such as employment records or any correspondence showing you worked and lived there full-time. Then, you can contact your state’s tax authority or a local consumer protection agency to inquire about your eligibility for a refund. If necessary, consider seeking legal advice to navigate the process effectively.
