Dear Megan,
The Interzum fair went very well. We didn't have any problems with the hotels; everything went very well.
I don't have any trade fairs at the moment, but if one comes up, I'd contact you regarding hotel reservations.
We were very pleased with the service received from your company, and specifically from you.
Thank you very much for everything.
Kind regards

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
Great Service!! Thank you very much!!
Dear George,
thanks for you mail.
Everything went very well!! We have really appreciated your fast action in solving our issue to reinstate a cancelled reservation for new guests.
The only “negative” thing was that there was not possibility to have dinner in the hotel, but my team solved going out.
We will be very glad to ask for your help for future reservation.
Thank you and kind regards

Hello,
Thank you for your email and services. Indeed my colleagues have come back and are very satiesfied with their visit.
Also we have learned the lesson and knowing that we may be going to the IBC2020, we are thinking of making a very early booking. Is that possible?
What options you can provide, it can include the Olympic Hotel, as they were satisfied, but also other similar options close to RAI.
Looking forward to your answer,
Ieva
Quick response and adequate handling when booking needs to be adjusted. Happy that the search for hotels during trade fairs is taking out of our hands to save valuable time.
All went well. The hotel rooms were very small, but the staff friendly and the breakfast was very fine.
Hello Michelle,
I hope you're well too.
Thank you for this information, everything went very well with the Moxy hotel.
I'll be sure to get back to you if I have any other requests.
Have a nice day

Hi Tracy,
Everything went well.

Many thanks to Mr Tom Parker from GoFair throughout the whole process of searching for a suitable hotel. The hotel is located perfectly good- just 10 minutes walking up to the Messe, or several minutes by train. The interior layouts are also very good. The rooms are spacious, comfortable bed, shower room etc...A good room service. The only minus there is extremely poor breakfast that really should be improved.
Good day.
I´m fine. I hope you too.
Thank you for asking. This is the second time my colleagues stayed at this hotel because of its proximity to the fairgrounds and comfortable facilities.
We knew it thanks to Megan and already accommodated in 2022 during the same fair.
Compared to the previous time I was informed by colleagues that the treatment was not that good.
On the other hand, the treatment with Megan Moore has always been very correct and efficient. I hope to contact her for other alternatives next time.
