A new standard for service

There was a small fire in the kitchen of our hotel's restaurant today, closing it for lunch. Instead of turning us away, the manager, Mr. Lee, drove us and an english-speaking hostess to a fine dining restaurant elsewhere on campus where they served us a magnificent lunch of stuffed duck, fish casserole, and green vegetables. Throughout the meal, our hostess stayed by our table assisting us through the menu and even tolerating our request for entertainment recommendations. At the end of the meal, Mr. Lee, who had stayed at with us, graciously returned us to the hotel. Even better than the Hampton Inn.

Better than the Hampton ? Well I bet it didn't have fresh baked chocolate chip cookies at five in the afternoon.
