Do hotels normally let you cancel or did I loss out here? My wife is gold and that was put in the note to the hotel.
You can always call the hotel directly and explain the situation. The sooner you call the better your chances. I have booked hotels with 2-3 day cancellation policies and forgotten to cancel because plans changed and the hotels are mostly accomodating. Good Luck
