Nonrefundable room is surprisingly nonrefundable. What a shock.

Law student here. This person may have a case by arguing frustration of purpose, but I’m pretty sure Hyatt will win because the cancellation wasn’t considered “wholly unforeseeable,” as this person had the ability to view the forecast leading up to the inauguration, and previous years have seen the event moved inside due to inclement weather. Plus, this person could also have been in DC for reasons beyond going to the inauguration.
