Dear Hotel Manager

I just wanted to drop you a quick note of regret that my family could not stay longer and enjoy a few more of the amenities your fine establishment offers, as we are leaving in a few minutes. For example, I learned that last evening the pool bar was in fact open, and a party of sorts took place out there, but we were unfortunately eating on board a moving train at the time and missed the entire thing. It would be nice if we could stay an additional day just to see if it happens again tonight. Also, we never got a chance to play volleyball, although after our first day, when we inquired about such a possibility, you were kind enough to take down the net that had been set up right outside our room window. This eliminated the sticky problem of my children asking regularly about it.

I would like to compliment you on your maid service, which is very efficient, especially when it comes to changing the beds. Two nights ago, one of my children (who shall remain nameless) elected to skip a trip to the bathroom and pee in the bed instead. Your maids took notice and changed the sheets, which was nice. Also, we ordered breakfast delivery this morning so that we could pack without having to worry about making it to the breakfast buffet. Our requested 8:00 A.M. meal arrived promptly at 9:30 A.M., which is a spectacular improvement on the room service we had enjoyed up to that point.

We will be sure to recommend your hotel to others who may be planning vacations, or other special occasions, such as weddings. We noticed that you appear to handle weddings very well, as it looked like everyone was having a good time when we peeked through the windows of the banquet hall after parking our car in your auxiliary parking lot three quarters of a mile from the lobby.

My children both had a splendid time. My daughter in particular said she enjoyed herself more than she did at Disney World, although we think she might have sustained a head injury some time over the course of the week, so we can't take her too seriously when she says this. Still, we may return again next year. Please alert your staff.

Yours in writing,

Gene Doucette, Room 109
