Set the thermostat higher if it seems cold.
Start the humidifier if you like
Linens
You'll find extra linens/blankets in the master bedroom closet or in the coffee table

Look for a multi-page document we leave on the coffee table, it has lots of suggestions for food and tips about the area/unit

I think you should have a writer look at your content. I found it somewhat in need of a professional edit and some simplification and clarification. It looks like it was written by a non writer

@Ross There is a tradeoff between a friendly note and a sterile written feel for sure. Sometimes a more colloquially written email can establish a personal connection with guests.

Do you have an example template of your style to share?

Here's a link which displays the email with formatting. Can you offer some specific suggestions for improvement?

As I said above "I think you should have a writer look at your content."

The only other thing I would add is, take your instructions and follow each and every step yourself. Get a friend who has never been there to try and follow them. Fix everything that is too wordy, unclear, overkill, etc.

Rich, the content looks fine. The point is to convey as much information as you can to the guest, not win literary awards. Don't worry about the formatting.
