Last year I was very lucky to have a week's holiday. So I wanted to spend1in the best hotel I could find. That was2I chose The Haven in a country park. I thought I would be able to escape（逃离） problems and pressures（压力） of daily life. But3there, my wife and I4problems with the restaurant and security（安全）.
We were ready to return to our room when we saw two policemen5closely at the building outside. One of them showed us how6in through the windows into our room. It seems that the hotel has7locks on the windows.
8we were a little worried, our concerns（担忧） were forgotten9when we saw a good-sized bed, a flat-screen TV, a spa bath which more suggested a comfortable stay.
Things started to go from bad to worse the following morning when I found the restaurant only served（服务） low-fat meals：six days of rabbit food and only10 meat and fruit. What had I let myself in for? Nobody had told us what the food11like before we booked. I ordered my breakfast12my will anyway, but I had waited forty-five minutes for it to arrive. This was not the service that I had expected.
That afternoon, when we returned from a tour around13university nearby, we found that nearly £200 was stolen from our room. The Haven refused（拒绝） to pay back the money. They claimed（声称）that they14not be responsible（负责任） for any loss if our window was not locked.
My holiday was then a total failure. I thought a "haven" was sure to be a quiet and peaceful place. But in fact, I have experienced15stress and worry in that one day than I usually do working in the office for a week.
