Dear Ellie,
Indeed, our overall satisfaction was great as it was very close to the fair (walking distance 10 min max), with a decent breakfast and 24-h available reception.
The room was very clean and the bed was super comfy although it would be perfect if there was a table and chair. We got a free room cleaning service for staying every 4 nights.
The hotel was very close to the train station, and to a very big mall which has Carrefour and a food court. Easy check out as well.
Have a great day ahead,
Best regards,
Dimos Maligiannis

Dear Megan,
I hope you had a great weekend.
You were a big help to us for the last 4 years since I first contacted you regarding booking hotels for IDS.
If it weren't for your assistance, we would have had a hard time to make the show successful.
We went back and forth a lot and thank you for your patience and understanding in advance.
I appreciate our collaboration and getting to know you.
Hope you have a great day and start to the week.
With warmest regards,
Phillip

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.
