Hi Tom,
The Mercure was a good hotel and we are happy with stay. It was a very big improvement from the terrible Comfort Hotel which I don´t you should recommend to anyone.
Best regards,

Thanks Tom.
The reservations were fulfilled properly, and the hotel was excellent with one exception: no shower curtain/door in the bathroom made for difficult showering. Our next trip to Europe is for wire 2016, www.wire.de, in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Best regards,
Mike McNulty

Your services were superb, the hotel was alright, very clean and really close to the metro station.
The only issue was the breakfast as it was a typical german one and not the european/standard one. Overall happy with the hotel, the owner was kind and so were the staff.

Dear Ellie,
Motel One was very appreciated by my colleagues, but it’s really early for us to consider any options for next year.
We will likely start to make the necessary arrangements during Summer.
Kind regards

Hi Megan,
Thanks for reaching out.
Yes indeed we were staying at the Mokinba Hotel.
The accommodation was nice and clean, friendly and helpful staff. So far I have not gotten any negative feedback from our colleagues.
Also the location next to the metro station was perfect to get to the Fiera in Milano/Rho.
Many thanks again for the help.
My best,
Aline
