    Here’s a clear, professional email you can send to Holiday Inn regarding the incorrect charge and unprofessional service: --- Subject: Urgent: Incorrect Charge of $3,900 and Unprofessional Service Dear Holiday Inn Management, I am writing to formally express my concern regarding an issue I recently experienced at your property. My stay was supposed to be billed directly to my insurance, yet my personal card was incorrectly charged $3,900. This error has caused a significant financial burden and inconvenience. In addition to the billing issue, the level of service I received while attempting to resolve this matter was unprofessional and unacceptable. I was not given clear answers, nor was any meaningful assistance provided to correct the mistake. I respectfully request the following: 1. Immediate reversal of the $3,900 charge to my card. 2. Confirmation that the billing will be properly processed through my insurance as originally agreed. 3. An explanation of how this error occurred and what steps will be taken to prevent this from happening to other guests. Please treat this matter as urgent. I expect written confirmation once the refund is processed and the billing is correctly updated. Thank you for your prompt attention. I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Phone Number] [Your Email] [Reservation Number / Dates of Stay] --- If you want, I can tailor the tone (more firm, more formal, more frustrated, etc.) or add specific details.

    Pretty much a motel. Rooms smell of dead skin. Can hear through all walls. Showers of upstairs, moaning from next door, yawning from tired guests walking by. Bed is comfy though. TV sucks the most. Remote is a brick.
