Dear Ascot Hotel,
I would like to reserve an accessible single room for two nights with breakfast on the 22 and 23 of April. Could I have a quiet room with a view if possible, please?
I will arrive at about 10 p.m. and I have an early meeting the next morning, so please could you leave an iron and ironing board in the room?
I have a promotional code (MH2219). Please can you confirm that it is £80 per night with breakfast included?
Please could you confirm the booking? Let me know if you need any further information.
Many thanks.
With kind regards,
David Mathews

I don't know if the above expression is correct so I will very appreciate it if someone could correct my mistakes.
Hello dream123,
I'm afraid we don't correct our users' texts, in part because it would take too much time. But I can say that your text is very well written. My only suggestion would be to change 'Besides, it is fine' to 'Feel free'.
All the best,

Price, wi-fi and breakfast.
To be honest, I don't have any experience staying in the hotel. When I travel I just stay one of the monestry in that town. It's cheap and we stay many people. But we don't have to request breakfast or dinner, we just donate some money to that monestry as a donation.
When I want to book a hotel room I usually ask about price. I usually ask to have a room with a view when I stay for a long time, otherwise the view is not important when I want to stay just for one or two days. I always ask about their restaurant, if they have I ask about food prices. I always ask them to confirm my reservation because I don't want to face any problems later.
