It's worth noting as well that Bob made a pointed reference, in one of his responses to newwife, that by suggesting the guests go to another hotel, she'd risk the possibility of making them feel unwelcome. I'm struck by the irony of the indirect suggestion that this page may not be for me when it is juxtaposed against Bob's argument that it would be hurtful to suggest to guests that the hotel might not be the right one for them, and that there were plenty more hotels out there. I feel as if you are using as a positive suggestion the same line of reasoning that Bob used as a an example of a hurtful and potentially negative suggestion -- which boils down to, if you don't like the way things are, hit the road.
