Subject: Complaining about poor quality hotel accommodation.

Booking Ref 3576629

1 have recently returned from a three-day stay at the Hotel Sainte-Marla' Prague, and I want to mention that: my stay was an awful experience rather than an enjoyable one like you stated I would have in your brochure.

First of all, when I arrived at the hotel, my hotel room was not fully ready for use. It was 2 PM. and I understand that it may be a little early for check-ins. However. I informed the staff in advance of my flight schedule and was told that my room would be ready by then. Anyway, I had to stay in the lobby for over an hour before entering my room.

Also, the 24-hour housekeeping service was not the same as I had expected. As I had some friends I had to attend to, I returned to the hotel a little after midnight. I spilled a drink on my bed and asked for immediate maid service, which unexpectedly was not available.

Another problem occurred on the day of my departure from Prague. The frequent airport shuttle took over half an hour to catch, so I almost missed my flight back home. Overall, my three-day stay at the Hotel Sainte-Marial was a disaster. As your service did not match what was described, I believe I am entitled to get a full refund. Please pay immediate attention to this matter and respond to me as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,

Delia Diaz

Questions 9-11 refer to the following book review.

A History of Sports from Ancient Times to the Present

By Rebecca Jean Porter

Illustrated, 248 pp. Oakview Press, Westport, CT $32.95

Rebecca Jean Porter, the author of Olympic Dreams, has attained another perfect score in this engaging and readable history. A History of Sports from Ancient Times to the Present covers everything from sporting events in ancient Rome to the origins of teams sports in North America, and it includes a section on sports played on contemporary university campuses. I highly recommend the chapter with detailed instructions on how to play games that had previously been lost over time. Porter's comprehensive introduction and bibliography, as well as the time line of dates and events, make this a reference work that should be purchased by all public libraries. An online companion volume will be published next year.
