One More Disaster with AI booking

I took one look at the room after checking in and wouldn’t even consider sleeping there. I tried to contact you but it was nearly impossible to use that little box. It kept erasing my message when The tried to correct any errors. I finally sent the message with errors but your Ai is bad. It didn’t regard the contend but noted the errors. AI is really problematic for booking properties!!!
