Thanks for your reply! Someone on the DC Tripadvisor forum told me that the mayor has since extended the stay home shut down through May 15th, so I don't see how there is any way that Hotwire can hold us to this reservation and not refund us since we are not even allowed to travel there during that time. Plus, even though we are doing fine and don't personally know anyone who is sick with COVID-19, we do live in southeast Michigan which is still a hotspot for the virus.
The last time I checked, our refund is under review so hopefully they will let us know shortly that we get a full refund. I know they are swamped with requests right now.
Thanks again!
