Where can I find legislation relating to Hotel and Guest contract?
If Hotel unilaterally cancels booking what are their legal obligations to make good?Where can I find legislation relating to Hotel and Guest contract?It does depend on the state, however, when you say "unilaterally" it makes it sound like the hotel reservation was canceled due to some natural disaster or something. In that case you have very little recourse. If the hotel canceled your reservation because it was not guaranteed, you have no recourse. If the hotel canceled your reservation erroneously you have very little recourse, because it comes down to what you claim and what the hotel claims happened. Sometimes hotels will cover your first night of room and tax if they "walk" you to another hotel because their rooms are sold out. It all depends on the hotel and the state. In your case, since there are not a lot of details with your question...I would call the other hotels in the area of the hotel that canceled your reservation and ask what their policy is.Where can I find legislation relating to Hotel and Guest contract?It depends on a couple of factors. 1) What state is the hotel located in? The laws of each state regarding hotel reservations will vary. 2) Was the hotel booking accompanied by a deposit? If you made a reservation, but no deposit was received by the hotel, you probably don't have any recourse against the hotel. However, if a deposit was paid to the hotel at the time of the making of the reservation, then the hotel can be liable for the economic damages you were caused by the canceled booking, ie the additional money you had to pay to stay at another hotel.
