Dear Sir or Madam,
I am reaching out to express my dissatisfaction with the recent experience which I faced with the
hotel
during my trip to Switzerland through your travel agency on 31st January.
In the first place, I ought to mention that it was my boyfriend's birthday and I wanted to surprise him by booking a room
with a beautiful view. One of my friends advised me your agency is one of the best in town. I made the booking with your agency to the Marriot hotel
and your team guaranteed me a room
with a view of the falls. When we arrived at the hotel
there were not any views over the window, as it was visible
only from the back of the hotel
.
In addition
to what I mentioned above I could also
state that the room
's quality was not as described, there was some garbage in the bathroom. In spite of the fact that I warned the worker of the hotel
, he did not take any actions
.
I would like your company to return my half of the money as I had paid $400 for that particular Fix the agreement mistake
action
room
.
I hope the matter will be solved as quickly as possible and look forward to receiving your response letter soon.
Yours faithfully,
Ms ObahSubmitted by ieltsielts81 on
