Dear Ellie,
Motel One was very appreciated by my colleagues, but it’s really early for us to consider any options for next year.
We will likely start to make the necessary arrangements during Summer.
Kind regards

Michelle made my job so much easier with her quick responses, patience and professionalism. I was sending 3 people to Anuga at the last minute and her help in finding lodging at a reasonable price, good location and quality hotel was outstanding. You have a winner with Michelle! She's definitely management material.

Hello Megan,
Yes, I have been told by colleagues that the hotel was very good in terms of facilities, rooms and breakfast. The hotel was a great success, so close to the fairgrounds that they could go for a short walk. Thank you very much for your great choice 😊
Thank you!

There was some problem with overbooking with the first hotel but Tom managed to fix it for us and find a new place to stay.
The new hotel was okay and adequate.

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

Dear Michael,
I am thank you, hope you too J
Nice to e-meet you.
About Hotel Marconi, Ihave a couple of things to point out:
1)Mrs. Straccia and Mrs. Fantaccione had rooms not good enough for a 4**** Hotel (they were really small, not so nice and below the ground floor…). Mrs. Straccia asked to change it and the Hotel did it. Honestly, the Hotel asked us to pay the full amount one year in advance, we did it but we expected to have the best rooms, and the Hotel was big with lots of rooms);
2)the temperature in some rooms (also Mr. Pagliuca ones) was quite cold.
By the way, aside this (even important), the staying was quite good.
About Megan, she is great as usual
For CPhI 2025, we have already booked through you and paid the “Frankfurt”.
I wish you too a great day!
Kind regards.
