grammaticality - "I would like to be sent something" "Could I be sent something"

Both the sentences are grammatically correct but in the context that you've provided, it's better check the tone and the voice and modify them accordingly.



Passive: Could I please be sent some information on your hotel facilities?



Active: Could you please send me some information on your hotel facilities?(more polite)



Passive: I would like to be sent some information on your hotel facilities.



Active: I would like you to send me some information on your hotel facilities.(less polite, slightly commanding)
