My blood pressure has been high lately — a new experience for me — and the medicine I have been taking for a week now is making me light headed and giving me dizzy spells. I am switching to another medicine today, but I don't think it will be safe for me to drive this week.

I would like some advice on how to handle one consequence of this situation. I booked a room at Carpenter Street Hotel, and booking.com is telling me that the entire cost, minus taxes, is non-refundable (as of April 30th). I am not a traveler: my only trip anywhere else in the past 10 years has been to Gettysburg in 2014. So, I am unfamiliar with dealing with these issues, and I do not know if my last-minute health situation would make a difference. I have not yet contacted the hotel about this.

I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry you can't make it. I'd be surprised if the hotel wouldn't refund your reservation cost if you call them directly.

I've had one bad experience (this past February) with booking.com. I won't use them again.

Maybe next year.
