If this is a chain hotel or a franchise operation have you considered going further up the ladder to express your concerns? The manager sounds like he/she needs a short, sharp lesson in on-line conduct.
And that’s why I would use the highlighted “Report response as inappropriate” at the bottom the manager’s comment and let TripAdvisor handle it.
