Review Websites - Over-vigilant owner/manager responses

Anyone else find this at least slightly offputting.
Seems to apply mostly on hotel review sites but I see it on restaurant sites as well, if not quite as often, which is why I figure this is probably the best place to ask.
While I suppose I understand the notion of wanting to address negative stuff head on, sometimes when you're looking at something like Tripadvisor, and you see a hotel manager responding to literally EVERY negative comment with some sort of spin, it just strikes me as a bit much, and at some point becomes counterproductive as far as how I perceive the place.
I understand you can't please everybody, all the time, and I feel like I have a pretty good idea of how to sort out the good from the bad in such sites. I think sometimes some of these managers/owners need to take a step back and realize they can go overboard on this stuff.

Agree. Although I guess there are some situations where a response would be appropriate. A blatant falsehood. Something egregious that's been remedied. Etc.

Back in MVB days, I once (I thought) politely responded to a Yelp review with a private email to the person, addressing some of the issues and explaining some of the reasons why we did things certain ways.
Its a mistake I never made again.

I love Steins yelp reviews. I know Yezzy is a fan.
