Candidate’s Response:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you about the last week reservation which I made under the name Seatply in your hotel for a business meeting. There were about 25 people in that event and everyone appreciated the lovely atmosphere of the place. We also enjoyed the professional attitude of your staff in welcoming and serving us.

The quality of the dishes served for lunch, on the other hand, was not satisfactory. We received various negative feedbacks regarding the freshness of the ingredients used in them. The quantity of the food, also, was not enough, and it was embarassing for our company.

In order to avoid future instances such as this, I would suggest to consider using fresh and high quality materials in cooking. Furthermore, it is always better to prepare more quantity than estimated. It could certaintly be helpful in improving costumer’s satisfaction.

I hope you consider my comments.

Best Regards,

Dear Sir/Madam

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express our deep appreciation for the excellent facilities and services your hotel provided during our recent all-day company meeting. The participants were particularly pleased with the comfortable meeting rooms, professional staff, and the overall ambiance.

However, I must bring to your attention that there were concerns regarding the food served for lunch. Several participants expressed dissatisfaction, citing issues with taste and variety. To enhance future experiences, I recommend considering a more diverse menu with attention to dietary preferences. Additionally, ensuring the freshness and quality of ingredients will contribute significantly to overall satisfaction.

We believe that addressing these concerns will not only enhance the reputation of your great hotel but also contribute to the overall positive experience for future events. We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to continued collaboration.

Sincerely,
