I thus suggest you cancel them and either search upthread for the one or two specific hotels that are OK with no-shows, or else book only meetings that you can actually get to. Spending a little more on meetings you can get to seems a lot better use of money than spending a bit less on no-show meetings at random hotels which are likely to never post.
