What if the hotel doesn't refund the fee?

You can negotiate a lawsuit.

If the hotel doesn't refund the money, it can negotiate with the agency for a refund, and both parties make concessions to reduce the time and money cost of litigation.

If no agreement can be reached, a lawsuit can be brought to the court to explain the losses caused by the agency's breach of contract, request the court to judge the agency to refund the relevant expenses, and may require it to pay liquidated damages or compensate for the losses.
