Professional tone ★★
We're genuinely sorry check-in wasn't as smooth as it should have been and some amenities weren't in working order. That isn't the standard we hold ourselves to, and we've already rewritten our arrival instructions with a step-by-step guide and a direct contact on arrival day and repaired and restocked everything you mentioned. We take feedback like this seriously and would welcome the chance to make it right — please reach out to us directly.
