Talking about travel experiences... I have to write a paragraph for my writing homework, I hope you can help me to correct my mistakes: "I have spent a weekend at the Walcott Inn, they promised me a relaxing time as they say in their web site, but all is a lie. I had a terrible time there, the house is run down, my room was cramped and dark, and my breakfast was always cold. I want to warn others whom plan to spend a while there, that is the reason I wrote this review. When I made my reservation they promised me a good time, but when I complained, nobody heard me, I talked with the manager but he did nothing. I hope you can rethink about spending a while in this inn. You can find a better place for the same price."

Talking about travel experiences...

I have to write a paragraph for my writing homework, I hope you can help me to correct my mistakes:

"I recently have (the have is optional, but it sounds more English to leave it out, recently might be a nice addition) spent a weekend at the Walcott Inn. They promised me a relaxing time, as they say in on their web site, but all is it was (pasttense, as you used "promised" past tense earlier in the sentence) a lie. I had a terrible time there, the house is was run down, my room was cramped and dark, and my breakfast was always cold. I want to warn others whom who?? (I believe the correct word here is "who" although this is often confusing for English speakers too. I'm sure somebody with greater knowledge of this will jump in and comment, as this one often leaves me stumped) plan to spend a while there, that which is the reason I wrote this review. 

When I made my reservation they promised me a good time, but when I complained nobody heard listened to me. I talked with the manager, but he did nothing. (commas go between independent clauses) I hope you can rethink about spending a while in your vacation at this inn. You can find a better place for the same price."

Well done Fransisco, there were very few errors. My only suggestion is to make sure that your tenses match up. I'm sorry to hear you had such an awful time at the inn!

     I have to write a paragraph for my writing homework and I hope you will help me by correcting my mistakes. 

     I wrote this review to warn others about the Walcott Inn.  I spent a weekend at the Walcott Inn where they promise a relaxing time as their web site describes, but it's all lies. I had a terrible time there because the building was run down, my room was cramped and dark, and my breakfast was always cold.  When I complained no one listened to me. I even spoke with the manager but he did nothing. I hope you will reconsider staying at this inn. You can find a better place for the same price.

Good work. I moved your Issue statement to the opening of the story, so readers know what to expect by reading this.
