Student answer (Band 7.5)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Ravi Patel. I am writing to provide feedback regarding a corporate event that my company recently organized at your hotel. The event was an annual conference meeting held on 28th august, which was attended by 80 employees and managers from different regional branches of our company.

Overall, we were pleased with the service and facilities provided by your hotel. In particular, the conference hall was spacious, well organized and equipped with modern audio-video facilities, which allowed us to conduct the presentations very smoothly. I was also impressed by the professionalism of the staff, as they were very quick, polite and cooperative whenever we required assistance. In addition, the quality of food that served after meeting was delicious and excellent.

However, there are some areas that could be improved. The main issue was limited parking, which caused inconvenience to our guests. Furthermore, the Wi-Fi connection become slow during the time of presentation. I would appreciate it if you could look in this improvement areas, so that it would be more convenient for future business events.

Thank you for your hospitality, and i hope these suggestions will be useful.

Yours faithfully,

Ravi Patel.
