The Hoxton Charged My Card Before Check-In. The Refund Took 10 Days.
The Hoxton pre-charged my card a week before check-in. I cancelled within the free window. The refund took 10 business days to appear. Annoying but it did come through.
The lesson here is that most refund denials are not final. Companies have discretionary policies that allow exceptions, but they rarely advertise them. The key is knowing which policy to reference and how to frame your request.
If you are dealing with a similar situation with The Hoxton Charged, do not accept the first denial. Research their refund policy, find the specific clause that supports your case, and write a professional appeal referencing it. That single step can turn a “no” into a “yes.”
I use LaimRefund to do this research automatically. It searches the platform’s policies and relevant consumer laws, then drafts a professional appeal letter. Free to check your odds, only $3.99 to unlock the full letter.
