Is it legal not to refund hotel reservations?

Legal Subjectivity:

It is legal for the hotel to refuse to check out after check-in. If the consumer's unilateral cancellation does constitute a breach of contract, he must bear the liability for breach of contract and pay a reasonable fee. However, the hotel stipulates that consumers make reservations. It is an invalid format clause that cannot be canceled or refunded later, and the agreement is illegal. The law is objective:
