Can I return the hourly room if I don't check in?

Legal analysis: If the hotel needs to cancel the order for personal reasons, whether to compensate depends on the agreement signed by both parties. If the deposit is paid, the penalty is generally applicable, and the deposit cannot be refunded.

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

Article 587 Where the debtor performs the debt, the deposit shall be set off as the price or recovered. If the party paying the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt is not in conformity with the agreement, thus the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, it has no right to request the return of the deposit; If the party receiving the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt does not conform to the agreement, so that the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, the deposit shall be returned twice.

Article 588 Where the parties have agreed on both liquidated damages and deposit, if one party breaches the contract, the other party may choose to apply the liquidated damages or deposit clause. If the deposit is not enough to make up for the losses caused by one party's breach of contract, the other party may demand compensation for the losses exceeding the deposit amount.
