Creating queries from parameters
Now you're going to implement a more powerful function for querying the hotels database. The goal is for that function to take arguments that can later be specified by other parts of your code.
More specifically, your job is to define a find_hotels()
function which takes a single argument - a dictionary of column names and values - and returns a list of matching hotels from the database.
