First of all, before I post more questions that I need answered, I wanted to clarify a couple of things. These questions are problems about sentence correction and/or grammar that I do not understand. They are part of an Extra Credit Grammar Assignment in my Business Communication class. I am directing these questions to anyone that can help (i.e. not specifically teachers or students.) I'm sorry to have offended anybody or misplaced my question in my last thread. I have already fixed some parts of the sentences, that I believe needed to be fixed. However, feel free to let me know if I am correct.

1. When we 1st arrived we attended a seminar on unique sales strategies. (2) - The only problem I noticed was "1st." It should be written out as "first." - I think the second problem is with the last three words. It should be capitalized, underlined, or italicized. I just don't know which.
2. The Seminar Topic was "How to Make Your Sales Calls Count". (4) - "Seminar" should not be capitalized. - "Topic" should not be capitalized. - The third and fourth problems have to be with what is in quotations. I just don't know what it is.
3. The air conditioner in our Hotel room is to noisy, we can not sleep. (4) - Hotel should not be capitalized. - The comma after noisy should be changed to a period. - "we" should be capitalized. - ?
