Renting of Hotel room

Mr. A has acquired a Immovable Property [Hotel] on lease. He is engaged in the business of running hotels. While he is paying luxury tax to the Government, Is he liable to collect Service tax in respect of lodging facilities given to customer?

While Mr. A is liable to pay Service tax to the lessor of the property, my doubt is whether he must collect service tax from his customers on room fare?
