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.
Don't wait 3-5 days. Don't email. Call now.
But as said before you can't really expect much since you booked a non-refundable rate. Just hope for the best. Also better to call before your reservation check in date.
