Letter Writing

customer's invitation

I'm writing a letter to an english customer who is going to visit our factory next month. I want to ask him if he needs an hotel accomodation near our factory. Is the following sentence correct and polite?
"Let me know if you need an accomodation in an hotel near our factory"
Thank you very much

Very nearly. " "in a hotel" is not wrong, but I personally prefer "at a hotel". "a n hotel" is old-fashioned (to me).

Alternatively you can ask "Would you like us to book you into a hotel near our factory?"
