客室の新しい床

じゃらんネットの口コミで最近に「亀清旅館がぼろぼろだけど安いから仕方がない」の様に書かれました。確かに、設備投資が大変遅れて、建物の古さが感じます。(大半のお客様が亀清の昔ながらの木の作りの温もりで落ち着き、「何も変えないで」と言いますが。。。)
お客様の喜びの為に純情に直してはいます。今週は2階の客室のベランダの床を取りかえった。私が古いカーペットを外して処分して、業者に取り付けてもらいました。(やはりお客さんが使うところはプローに頼まないと。)来月はメインのトイレの改造。庭はすでに磨いていっています。お客様の喜びを得れるように。でも、これだけ言わせて下さい:亀清が綺麗になっても、値上げはしない。この改造はお金の為じゃない。心の事です。おもてなしの心。
We recently got a customer comment to the effect that Kamesei's buildings are old, but it's cheap so it can't be helped. Our buildings are old and decrepit, and are sorely needing repair. (However, the majority of our guests like the wood construction and ask us to leave everything as it is...) But we are gradually making improvements. This week we put new carpet in the verandahs of several guest rooms (I did the removal but we had a pro do the install). Next month we will completely remodel the main bathrooms. And all this year we are re-doing the gardens. All of this to give our guests a better experience.
But I do want to say one thing: even after we make all the improvements, we aren't going to raise the rates. It's not a matter of money, but of heart!
