Can you cancel the hotel because of the epidemic?

Legal analysis: if the hotel booked in advance does not stay at all because of the epidemic, you can ask the hotel to refund all the money; However, if you have already checked into the hotel, you can't let the hotel check out for free in this case. Because the outbreak is a force majeure factor, the booking person can cancel the booking contract at any time without checking in.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
