I was thinking of instead of replying with a tl;dr version, I might reply simply with "As you said, most of this could have been solved with you simply asking us. The sheets, the cereal, etc. could have been solved, but instead you decided it was more important to be miserable and complain when you were home rather than ask us to make you a bowl of oatmeal, give you ear plugs, put on cotton sheets, etc. Sorry you ruined your own vacation."

I'd go even shorter - As you mentioned, most of the issues you raised could have been solved had you brought them to our attention. Bringing it up now doesn't allow us to help you in any way. As we cater to a diverse group of world travelers we cannot please every person who walks through the door. But, we'd like the chance to try. We recommend bringing issues to the attention of your innkeepers while you are in their homes, rather than waiting to write a snarky review about things that could have been fixed had we only known what you needed - different sheets, different cereal, ear plugs, etc.

We wish you'd brought your cereal preference to our attention while you were here. We are happy to provide the breakfast our guests prefer when they make us aware.

My Hubby did go out and buy a certain cereal for one guest. A repeat guest who came three times over the summer. 'His' cereal was put out three times over the summer and thrown away after his last visit. A box of cereal is an easy thing to provide.
Some people are just unhappy.

Yes but a great reply...and instructive to readers who may not know that we would like to try to please them!

No the comment is based on something else, body form. And is a derogatory "name" I think that could be removed.

Don't attack the guest. Never attack the guest. Because you are attacking the NEXT guest. So, drop everything from 'we also like to mention...'
Otherwise, I think you've gotten your point across and it's a lot shorter and more coherent than the original. ;-)

No, they won't. I had several dozen innkeepers from around the world hit the report button on mine and it didn't do a thing.

We are so sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. We wish you'd mentioned your issues while you were still with us. We stock cotton sheets and would have loved to substitute them to make you more comfortable. We also would have been able to give you your favorite cereal, ear plugs, an upgrade to a room with central air and a seat at the main table but we didn't realize you were not enjoying your stay until we read this review.

the idea being, tell the readers that you have central air in some rooms.

If it makes you feel better, we've noticed the tone in our TA reviews has gotten a little more critical. Maybe something in the air or pre-election crankiness, perhaps?.

Well, I think that is part of them saying that I hate .... specific people. I think it's really about the election and what they don't have then what we do have.

BTW, when we have to seat guests close to the kitchen for breakfast we make a big deal about it. 'The chef's table' and that sort of thing. Lots of guests bring up gangster movies where the boss man always eats in the kitchen.
It's not the best spot to sit so we play it up.
Those guests have their backs to the dining room. They are right next to the kitchen. Some have opted to take that table day after day to watch the show..

There's a restaurant where every sits around the chefs while they prepare the food. Can't think of their name right now…. It's the experience not just the food. You could put everyone's name in a hat and the winner gets the chef's corner!
