dirty ventilationembarrassing accusation

i encountered a problem with the ventilation in my room , it looked quite dirty. i also found a fly in my drink at the bar , and after i returned it , a staff member loudly accused me of not paying , which was mortifying. the ketchup served with our meal had already been opened , suggesting it was refilled , it just lacks class.
