Our visitors for the event
The hotel was perfect with reasonable access to Messe Frankfurt. The rooms are new and clean and very ergonomic. The best breakfast that I could ever had.
IN GENERAL, MY COLLEAGUES WERE HAPPY OF THE MOTEL PLUS BERLIN AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY BIG TROUBLE.
Dear Megan,
Many thanks, everything was okay.
