Incorrect properties displayed from Json - json

Question

I am having an issue when trying to collect data from a json using SOAP UI and groovy scripting. Below is an example json:
{
"regions": [{
"hotels": [{
"roomInformation": [{
"hotelRoomId": xxx,
}],
"regionId": x,
"hotelId": xxx,
"providerInformation": {
"ratePlanCode": "xxx",
},
"providerHotelId": 0000001
},
{
"roomInformation": [{
"hotelRoomId": xx,
}],
"regionId": x,
"hotelId": xxx,
"providerInformation": {
"ratePlanCode": "ggg",
},
"providerHotelId": 0000002
}
],
"errors": null
}],
"errors": null
}
What I want to do is select the first instance of providerHotelId and ratePlanCode. To do this I have the groovy script below to tackle this:
def alert = com.eviware.soapui.support.UISupport
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def response = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Search Test").getProperty("Response").getValue();
def jsonRes = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response);
def providerhotelid = jsonRes.regions.hotels.providerHotelId[0].toString()
def rateplancode = jsonRes.regions.hotels.providerInformation[0].ratePlanCode.toString()
log.info providerhotelid
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue('providerhotelid', providerhotelid)
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue('rateplancode', rateplancode)
This outputs below in my custom properties:
providerhotelid - [0000001,0000002]
rateplancode - [xxx]
The above is incorrect because:
providerhotelid - it displays all provider hotel ids when I only want the first one which should be 0000001.
rateplancode - is correct but it displays a [] around it and I want this removed. Same goes for providerhotelid.
So for this example my custom properties should display:
providerhotelid - 0000001
rateplancode - xxx
How can this be achieved within my groovy script?

Here is what you need:
//Get all the values, falatten them and get the first one
def providerhotelid = jsonRes.regions.hotels.providerHotelId.flatten()[0]
def rateplancode = jsonRes.regions.hotels.providerInformation.ratePlanCode.flatten()[0]
log.info providerhotelid
log.info rateplancode
