Is it illegal for the hotel not to refund the accommodation fee?

The room rate can be refunded, but pay attention to the check-out time limit stipulated by the hotel. According to the relevant laws and regulations of our country, the hotel room rate is calculated by "room/night". The room rate is calculated by "room/night". If you check out after 12 o'clock and before 18 o'clock the next day, the hotel can add half a day's room charge; If you check out after the next day 18, the hotel can add one day's room charge. At present, the check-out regulations of all hotels and guesthouses in China follow this standard. Before the consumer checks in, the hotel has the responsibility to express the "notice of reservation and check-out" to ensure that the consumer makes a fully informed choice. It is unreasonable not to refund the fee at all. Another situation is that the room in the hotel is a special room, and it is generally necessary to negotiate with the hotel to check out. If the hotel tells the special room that you can't check out early, you can't return it.
