Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The guest is liable to pay for the room as they had a guaranteed reservation and did not show up, causing the hotel to lose potential revenue by not being able to rent out the room to another guest. The hotel may also have a cancellation policy that the guest agreed to when making the reservation, which could result in charges for not showing up. Loss of goodwill and punitive damages are not applicable in this scenario.
