During the week-long May Day holiday, my friends and I went to

makes me write this letter after considerations.
The focus of our complaint is the following. Firstly, the surrounding
environment is too noisy. Even at mid-night, the noise from the nearby
construction sites is constant and great. Secondly, I must say something about
your food. Your menu is very expensive and the food quality is not so
satisfying. Lastly, I must remind you that you should strengthen the security.²
耀 ometimes, even salesman came to knock on our doors, which made us
feel annoyed and unsafe.
 The above-mentioned points are the unpleasant experiences during our
stay in your hotel. I hope you will adopt some new measures to improve your
services, which can prevent the image from damaging.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Min
