Dear geoffrey v., I am writing to express my sincere apologies for the disappointing experience you had during your recent stay at our hotel. Your feedback is extremely important to us, and I deeply regret that we fell short of your expectations in several areas. First and foremost, I want to apologize for the condition of your room. It is unacceptable that the room did not meet the standards that we aim to uphold. We take your comments about the shabbiness of the room seriously, and we will address the maintenance and cleanliness issues immediately. I also want to extend my apologies for the issues you encountered with the internet service. We understand the importance of reliable and fast internet access, and I regret that it was intermittent and slow during your stay. We are actively working to improve our WiFi infrastructure to provide a better experience for our guests. Regarding the dinner you purchased, I apologize for any miscommunication or misunderstanding. It is not our intention to mislead our guests, and we will review our communication and pricing procedures to ensure clarity in the future. Charging both the £22 of the deal and the item cost was indeed not the correct approach, and I apologize for this error. I will process full refund for the bill, which is £41.91 on the Mastercard ending 0597. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will use it to make immediate improvements in the areas you mentioned. We take guest satisfaction seriously, and we are committed to providing a better experience for our guests in the future. I hope you will consider giving us another chance to serve you in the future. If you decide to stay with us again, please feel free to reach out to me directly, and I will personally ensure that your next visit is as comfortable and enjoyable as it should be. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention, and I appreciate your patience as we work to rectify them.
