Hi George,
The hotel was convenient, easy to go to the exhibition. Thanks a lot for your support!

Thank you for your kind collaboration. The most appreciated thing of the Toyoko Inn Franfurt Hotel is the location very usefull.

Dear George,
last week when we came back after Fairs was very busy and I did not replay when it comes to our stay.
We are pretty happy with our stay, rooms were spacious and clea, service was also good.
Although we have some reamarks:
1) Parking - we were staying 7 nights and each and every time when we need to leave parking we had to ask for the new parking card. They were not able to issue a card that opens the gate every time. That was inconvience for us, and they should change it.
2) Breakfast buffet - there was good chioce however not enough vegetables. There were only tomatos and cucumber, no green mix, radishes, bell pepper, we really missed that.
Service were relly nice and supportive.
Best regards,
Honorata Michalik

One of my colleagues tried to check in after 11pm using the self-service system it found is booking, asked him to enter my address, and then when pressed to confirm it said it couldn’t process my check-in. This happened to another colleague arriving late due to flight delays -the system is unreliable/faulty, which is a particular issue when the check-in desk is unmanned. Both had to use the hotel's emergency number. Overall the hotel was clean and service was ok.

Hi George,
Everything went well at Crowne Plaza Geneva (4)
