Dear Tom,

thank you again for your care and professionalism. For sure I'll address only to you for all future events as well. As for the hotel - it is located very good, the interior layouts are also very good. The only minus there is extremely poor breakfast. Last time in Arosa Hotel, and even in Crown hotel they were much better, being at the same time enough plain.

Thank you again for your help!

Regards,

Irina

I'm not positive how I stumbled across "Travel to Fairs Limited", but I'm so glad I did. A simple request for traveling advice turned into a fantastic planning experience. My first point of contact (Via telephone) was from Ms. Ellie Stone. From that point forward I worked solely with her. My plans were extremely complex and Ellie was there for me the entire time. Flying from the United States, traveling to four separate cites in three European countries seemed daunting. After a few questions and some conversation, Ellie was able to give me multiple hotel options in each city. Ms. Stone even divided each hotel by their amenities. (Included breakfast/bars/public transport etc.) In addition to her thorough help with hotel accommodations, Ellie also booked three (3) separate flights for me. Germany to Denmark to Poland. For each city/destination, Ellie offered no fewer than 3 options for accommodations. Same for my flight options. Each destination had three choices. Different airlines and different departure times so I could manage my travel easily. The communication between Ellie and myself was excellent. With the time change between us, emails worked perfectly. Ellie was very attentive to my needs and responded to my questions/inquiries quickly. On more than a few occasions, when I called her office, she took the time to answer me right away. I would love to extend my gratitude and genuine "thanks" to Ellie. Dare I say... she made this experience fun. 5 STARS !!! Her company should be grateful to have her working there.

Dear Tom

Please let me offer you the feedback like this: (I also gave it on the phone to one of your colleagues)

I was happy with my stay in Madrid. Your job was of high quality and high value to me. The location in center of town was wonderful. The price acceptable.

Keep up the good job.

There are no more exhibition planned for this year. I will probably start thinking about next year after the summer.

Hi Ben,

We were satisfied with your service. The option of including a breakfast instead of paying at the hotel would have been better. We will be going to InterTabac next year and maybe Spannabis in Barcelona. But we have to decide still. If we do we’ll duff get in contact with you guys otherwise we don’t.

Have a good day!

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.
