Hotels actually do this frequently anyway, as a solution to overbooking. It’s minimally inconvenient for the accused, and protects the survivor from…

I hear you. My thinking is that the no refund policy would make sure the hotel had no direct financial incentive to avoid kicking someone out.

Well, in my case there was an eyewitness at the bar and more witnesses to my response, which absolutely should have been enough to get him booted. I suspect there would also have been video footage, but the hotel never bothered to look because the police never bothered to ask.
