. Subject: Complaint About Hotel Stay and Request for Refund I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my recent stay at your hotel. The room was in very poor condition and not suitable for staying in. Specifically: • The shower handles were broken, and I had to be moved to another room just to take a shower. • The sink faucet splashed water everywhere. • There was no iron available. • The refrigerator was dirty. • Overall, the room was not in acceptable condition. The only positive aspect of my stay was the staff, who were excellent and very helpful.
