What do you do if you are not happy in a hotel?

Complaints about a hotel can and should be made to management when your experience is not up to normal standards. If you have a subpar hotel stay, you can direct complaints to hotel employees, like the front desk worker or manager. You can also complain to higher managers if the hotel is a franchised company.
