Dear Tom,
All went fine. The hotel was a very nice place to stay.
For next year in Frankfurt we have already booked our rooms. You are free to come back to us the year after.

Very fast and efficient service!

Many thanks for handling the reservation of the hotel so professionally. Its interesting to note that when Interschutz 2021 was cancelled the hotel, and yourselves, did not hesitate to carry the booking over to 2022 at the same cost. The hotel, although a little out of Hannover (this was as per choice) was excellent. The food was excellent and the rooms larger than normal, and well appointed. My stay was greatly enjoyed.

Dear Tom,
I have already granted 5 stars. We received an extraordinary service and everybody was happy with the hotel.
We can organize the new group of rooms for the next year in Barcelona. If the Eurohotel is available, that is the option to pursue.
I look forward hearing from you, oh by the way. Is George back because I received an email from him. If so, please let’s continue with the planning for next year in Barcelona.
Also, do you have the Aloft Seaport in Boston?. That would be also an option for the SENA next year.
I look forward working with you again.
Have a great week.

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.

Dear Megan,
Thank you very much. Everything was good. We were pleased with the accommodation and the convenient location, and the landlord’s contact person was really friendly and helpful. One thing to mention is that we were unaware that a €500 cash deposit was required on check-in.. Anyway, we were happy over all, so thank you again.
Kind regards,
Rachel

I had been looking for a hotel for our employees for the Agritechnica fair for a while.
By chance I came across the traveltofairs site and got in touch with George.
Very nice and clear contact and quick answers made sure that a hotel was booked very quickly.
Definitely more than satisfied and also the hotel was definitely okay! I will definitely contact traveltofairs in the future.
