Question about hotel deposit?

I stayed at a marriot hotel less then a week ago because my flight got overbooked and the airline offered me a free stay. The hotel charged me a $50 deposit. Am I suppose to receive that $50 back?

Added (1). Marriott is the hotel name

They most likely "authorized" the $50, instead of charging it. When you checked out, they would have "charged" any charges you had incurred. If zero, then the authorization will just expire with no charges against it.

It was probably just an incidental hold on your card, which should be released within a few days of checking out. You weren't likely charged; if you were, you'll get the money back. All of that is if you didn't use anything from the minibar, purchase any movies, or damage the room.

If the airline was paying for your hotel, you shouldn't pay anything for the room. The only expenses you should have are if you charged food or such to the room. A deposit should have been gone a long time ago.
