What's the use of paying a deposit at the hotel? It feels like an online deposit, so you can only live there, so sesame credit is free.

The deposit is only used to prevent you from damaging important facilities in the room or using items that need to be charged in the room.

If there is no damage, the front desk will cancel the deposit when checking out!

If you book a deposit paid by the hotel (usually a credit card), it depends on the hotel's regulations.

Some hotels: the deposit will be refunded if the reservation is not checked in.

Some hotels: if you don't check in, you will be detained.
