How can I connect back to a WiFi network that had no connection issues before?

I have done everything I found in the support section and I still cannot connect to a network that I have been connected to for the past several days. To fix a low volume issue last evening I rebooted and held down command option R and P and that solved the low volume issue. Today I went to a coffee house and connected to their WiFi and watched some Netflix. I now am back at the residence where I am staying and my MacBook Air will no longer connect to the network. My phone connects and has internet access and that is how I am writing this post. I’ve done everything I know and everything I read. Can someone please help me resolve this issue? Do you have any recommendations on what I can do? Thank you for you time and any guidance you can provide. -S

MacBook Air, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3), 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB

I found those articles before and looked at them again after you sent. They have great information.

When I opened my MacBook this morning WiFi is connected and work. I am not sure what happened; all I know is that I am relieved. First-world problem resolved magically.

Thank you for your time and shooting me those support articles.

As location was set automatically , in system preferences > network the box join this network automatically was checked and the old settings Like correct DNS settings , WPA2 personal was saved .

So when you came at home you clicked on your network name the Mac was connected to your network .

if you wish to delete the hotel wifi network and its settings click on advance , select it and click on subtract sign it will prompt would you like to delete " that " network name from iCloud Keychain click on yes because , if you are using iCloud Keychain and in safari preferences autofill is checked the hotel network encrypted password had filled in keychain access .
