A formal letter of complaint about a hotel

A formal letter of complaint about a hotel DYEVo
Dear Sir/Madam I am writing in connection with my recent stay at your resort in Rethymno, Crete. Unfortunately, for all 7 days of my vacation from June 10 to 17, I did not encounter a possibility to utilize bathroom properly. When I checked into the hotel, I immediately discovered an issue with the plumbing. The water was barely coming out of the tap, and it was cold. The receptionist explained to me that these were temporary problems and that within the evening everything would be working. On the contrary even at the end of the next day, only a cold trickle flowed from the tap and I asked to transpose to another room. However, the staff claimed that they underwent a lack of rooms. I was not offered any alternative and options for how to solve this complication. Simultaneously, at this time of the season, all inns have already been booked and I could not relocate to another accommodation. After 4 days, I managed to be moved to another vacant room, there was a good pressure in the tap despite the water was extremely cold. In the morning, I found out that the solar boilers were malfunctioning in the hotel and there were no electrical ones, which the management were aware of a few weeks prior to my arrival and did not warn me. I am shocked at such a terrible service. I demand a partial or full refund of the payment for the accommodation, since the administration assured me to provide hot water which was not available throughout the entire vacation. If you do not proceed with any decisions and actions regarding this situation I am prepared to apply to a higher authority with my complaint. Yours faithfully, Mrs. Alexandra Butlitsky
Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing in connection with my recent stay at your resort in
Rethymno
, Crete. Unfortunately, for all 7 days of my vacation from June 10 to 17, I did not encounter a possibility to utilize bathroom
properly
.

When I
checked
into the hotel, I immediately discovered an issue with the plumbing. The water was
barely
coming out of the tap, and it was
cold
. The receptionist
explained
to me that these were temporary problems and that within the evening everything would be working.
On the contrary
even at the
end
of the
next
day,
only
a
cold
trickle flowed from the tap and I asked to transpose to another room.
However
, the staff claimed that they underwent a lack of rooms. I was not offered any alternative and options for how to solve this complication.
Simultaneously
, at this time of the season, all inns have already
been booked
and I could not relocate to another accommodation.

After 4 days, I managed to be
moved
to another vacant room, there was a
good
pressure in the tap despite the water was
extremely
cold
. In the morning, I found out that the solar boilers were malfunctioning in the hotel and there were no electrical ones, which the management were aware of a few weeks prior to my arrival and did not warn me.

I
am shocked
at such a terrible service. I demand a partial or full refund of the payment for the accommodation, since the administration assured me to provide hot water which was not available throughout the entire vacation. If you do not proceed with any decisions and actions regarding this situation I
am prepared
to apply to a higher authority with my complaint.

Yours
faithfully
,

Mrs. Alexandra
