Hello Tom,
Im really sorry for the delay. The trip was fine and the hotel really great.
Just a problem about the room with the twins beds… in fact, the hotel didn’t provide this kind of room so… Thierry and Romain had to sleep in the same bed…

Hello, My contact person was Tom Parker and our communication from the past year was just perfect. He helped us to book rooms for our whole team. When I had issues/questions, etc. Tom always replied immediately. He offered us several hotels, as well the Pentahotel where we stayed. This hotel was lovely. Personnel was very friendly and helpful, rooms were nice, breakfast was good and we had the opportunity to eat in our hotel for diner which was amazing after such a long day at the airshow. Had a very good experience and will certainly work with you again for upcoming fairs.
Kind Regards

Hi Michael and Tracy,
Thank you for follow up.
Was a nice hotel, although it was placed a long way from our originally booked hotel in the center of the city – so it had an extra cost for taxi’s.
Besides that we had some good days and the hotel was nice – we were all named Ronni, which gave som challenges as that is not our names, and they could not change the names at the hotel.
Best regards/Med venlig hilsen

Mr. Phil Saddleton
Yes we are back from our trip and happy for you to pass on the below regarding Ashleys Gardens
We could walk from the venue to the Messe Dusseldorf exhibition centre which was a big advantage for us. So the location was key and a big tick.
The hotel is of course very old and the rooms are very small with no lift so up 2 flights of stairs with bags for everyone.
Restaurant is popular with the locals and often cannot fit you in for dinner and wont let you charge back to the rooms.
Staff are friendly and breakfast is good.
All the best.
Martina Perglová

We have been working with you for a long time and would be hard pressed to find such professional services elsewhere. You are the best!
Have a wonderful day

Hello Megan,
Thanks for your mail, I see you are “monitoring us”, like CIA / FBI …. J J J We have positive feedback about Euro Park Hotel, all went fine, as scheduled. Anyhow, no problems, we decided to confirm in advance and it is OK, it was our decision. Hotel people were good and friendly, rooms clean, hotel in general was OK. Maybe just a little remark: missing real coffee, maybe better coffee maker is appreciated more (the one available was not good…..but this is our taste, maybe others are appreciating).
Keep in touch Megan,
Bye now, Enzo
