Letter of request/

Dear Hotel Manager

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to enquire about the possibility of booking a stay at your hotel which was highly recommended to me by a close friend who stayed with you recently. I am planning a family holiday by the sea side and would be happy to make the necessary arrangements.

We are a group of five – my spouse, my two teenage children and my mother. We are looking for a family suite or two connected rooms that can accommodate us comfortably. Our intended dates for the stay are from Friday to the 12th August, Monday. Could you kindly let me know what is included in the room rate? For example, does the price cover breakfast, Wi-Fi, or any other services, such as parking or access to the swimming pool?

Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could provide some information about local attractions and activities near your hotel. We are particularly interested in family-friendly entertainment and sightseeing opportunities.

Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your reply.
