Dear Megan,
The hotel all in all is good. Rooms are fine with good beds and bathrooms. Breakfast is very good for a hotel of this size. A small thing, but it would have been good with more English speaking TV channels.
It is ok to use public transports to the exhibitions ground, but it would have been even better to have a similar hotel along U78 north of the city centre when exhibiting at the Dusseldorf Messe.
Best regards,
Ingrid/Group Marketing Manager

Dear Megan,
Wishing a great start to 2019 in Health, Happiness and Wealth!
My sincere apologies for the late reply as I headed for my holidays on return and just back last Friday to office.
Well, everything were great during my stay in Langham with a room’s view of Pearl River and awesome facility. Plus point with walking distance (5mins) to subway station and 10 mins stroll to the exhibition centre.
My greatest appreciation to you for all the coordination and arrangement for the hotel reservation!
Have a happy Monday!
Thank you
Best regards,
Salvia Omar

Dear Ellie,
Everything went well, Hotel Montbrillant (4) is good.

Good Morning Tracy,
how are you?
Just a quick feed back about Gideon Hotel.
Excellent, confortable, good cleaning, lovely position in the center of Nuernberg, good connection with the exhibition center.
Katharinenhaus parking place for the cars was just round the corner 5 minutes walking. Very good.
Breakfast not so much to be honest.
Check in a little bit complicate after 08.00 pm.
Generally speaking it was good.
Thank you so much for your co-operation.
Keep in touch.
Best Regrads.

PLMA 2025

Dear Ellie,
Greetings to you! Hope you’re doing fine.
Yes, my boss had gone for the event. It was a successful trip for him.
Initially, I believe there was some confusion with the hotel booking on the hotels part but it was sorted out later.
Currently no plans yet, however, if we do need help we will be in touch.
Thank you to your team and Ms. Ellie for her support.

Tom,
Thank you for all your help and support in organising a suitable hotel for our stay during the SPE Offshore Show 2015 I Aberdeen. It was ideally located for our weeks stay.
