Hello, my name is Sunny in room 305. I was shocked when returning to my room a few minutes ago. My room is not cleaned up today. So, I asked the front desk to make fresh air in my room and get ashtray away this morning. Also, I made a reservation  in non-smoking room, but  I found it was smoking room. However, nothing is changed and anyone in this hotel doesn’t care this problem. The reason  I choose this hotel every time I visit N.Y is your friendly and customer-oriented service though the room rate is quite high. Please take an action properly and promptly to my room as you get my message.
