The difference between 要 (yào) and 想 (xiǎng) is that 要 typically expresses a stronger intention or necessity。 要 carries a stronger tone. When using 要, the speaker takes on a very determined attitude. It usually means that the speaker has a strong will or determination. Most likely, the speaker will put it into action as well.
想 indicates a desire or preference. In the sentence "我要退房" (Wǒ yào tuì fáng), the use of 要 emphasizes the necessity or intention to check out. 想 has a weaker tone, which means the speaker has the wish or plan to do something, but it's not a certain thing that he/she will put it into action.
