I never checked in the hotel because I traveled from Malaysia and was not allowed to enter the Cory, but either Orbitz (Expedia) or the hotel was willing to help me with the cancellation. The hotel stated that I booked through the agent and should contact the agent to contact them, then when I contact the agent, the agent stated that it’s up to the hotel to issue a refund or not, they don’t talk to each other, they just keep telling me (customer) to talk to the other party.
As ridiculous as this sounds, do NOT book with Orbitz going forward, because while they are charging you a booking fee, they are NOT your agent, therefore not going to act on your behalf...
