ok im a clerk at a private hotel and I'm leaving a note to my boss so i just want to know it the punctuation i correct.
Attn: blank
For the last couple of weeks the Event Schedule has been wrong. Today Sunday the 9th, a group of individuals came in at about a quarter to nine, claming they had reserved the Garfield Room for a Jesse. The Garfield Room was not occupied so I led them in. Please note this is an inconvenience for us. The tables were not made and the rugs were not properly groomed; thus causing delays in check-ins and check- outs. Be advised that this is my first written notice. Thank you for your time
(my name here)

Use a memo format, here are a few changes:
"For the last couple of weeks the Event Schedule has been incorrect.
Today, Sunday the 9th, a group of people came in at about a quarter to nine, stating that they had reserved the Garfield Room for a Jesse for this day. The Garfield Room was not occupied therefore I let them in. The event schedule did not reflect this reservation.
Regrettably, the tables were not prepared and the rugs were not properly groomed; thus causing delays in check-ins and check- outs and general disorganization.
I have brought this matter to your attention as this was an embarrassment for the hotel and we were not prepared to receive the guests adequately due to another scheduling error."
Never mind about inconvenience, or how many times you have written this up. The hotel's reputation and income is all the boss is going to care about. Don't leave another note, this matter is in his/her hands. Keep a copy for your records.
You have done the best you could.

Why don't you just tell him of this in person instead of leaving a note? If he is not around during your shift, then send an email with the information. Leave out the comma after quarter to nine. Don't mention the inconvenience to you as he will think you are just whinning about the mix up. No need to mention it is your first written notice...he will know that. You should also suggest you would appreciate his input on how to resolve this problem so there is no inconvenience to the guests (not you!)

Make this in the form of a memo, not a letter.You say that they claimed that the Garfield Room was reserved. Did they have any proof of this?
Just stick to the basic fact of the salon not being ready. Don´t be punctilious.

I'd suggest that you leave out the line about your being inconvenienced, he won't care about that. The guests who booked the room being inconvenienced might worry him more. Further mention that this has happened in the past, but this is the first time, that you have felt that you should let him know.
