Very Thoughtful Guests

Just more than a year ago The One Hotel had the pleasure of welcoming a very nice couple (recently engaged) from New York as our guests. They enjoyed their visit so much, including the service of one staff member in particular, that they wrote me last year and asked if they could sponsor his university tuition. The staff member is in a university class that costs $400 per year, so they guests paid half of his yearly tuition. What a kind and thoughtful gesture on their part, and naturally the staff member was thrilled. So, just a couple of weeks ago I received an email from the guest asking, since it had been a year, could they sponsor another year of his tuition? Wow, that really touched me that they still thought so much of their visit, and of him, to do this for another year. The guests also told me that for their wedding reception they decided to name each table, rather than give them a number. The most prominent, front and center table they wanted to call The One table, after their wonderful stay here, but thought guests might be confused. Instead they chose to call it the Siem Reap table. I have said it before and will say it again: we are always so very thankful for the lovely guests that have stayed with us and have a cherished memory of their visit.
