You might not ‘want to’ but, you pay.

You may not want to pay for two weeks extra of hotel nights, but, what does that matter?
You stayed 2 weeks, the hotel is due compensation.
Why would the person who stayed in the room not pay?
If you need surgery (and you are somewhere where this entails payment), then you have a choice as to where you have that surgery. You even, ultimately, have the choice not to have that surgery if that’s what you really want.
In the scenario being discussed here, you have no choice, no options. I fail to see how the consumer can be liable for that.
