Can I swap my Hong Kong trip because of the trouble?

With all the recent unrest in Hong Kong, I’d rather go to Macau (AP)

Q I have a trip to Hong Kong planned from 31 October to 5 November. I had already booked my flight and hotel way before the trouble started this year.

With everything that’s going on there, and with how my trip falls mainly from Friday to Wednesday, with the trouble mainly occurring over the weekends, at this point I would prefer to spend my time in Macau.

I was wondering if there’s any chance of me getting my money back for the hotel? I booked through Expedia using a credit card, but didn’t choose the option with free cancellation.
