Good Morning Tracy,
how are you?
Just a quick feed back about Gideon Hotel.
Excellent, confortable, good cleaning, lovely position in the center of Nuernberg, good connection with the exhibition center.
Katharinenhaus parking place for the cars was just round the corner 5 minutes walking. Very good.
Breakfast not so much to be honest.
Check in a little bit complicate after 08.00 pm.
Generally speaking it was good.
Thank you so much for your co-operation.
Keep in touch.
Best Regrads.

Hi, dear Tom,
Thanks a lot for Your help and proceding the process all the time. Of course, the difference in service quality, in comparison with the hotel in Germany, it is felt, the level is lower and the service staff - surly. But good news are that the exhibitors needed hotel only during the nights as the day-time was very busy (only weather could be better.....).
We were very satisfied with Your service, Tom. Next time we’ll try to use Your services.
Wishing You a great success in Your business!!!
Kind regards,
Vija

Dear Edward,
Thank you for your email. Our trip to Interpack was successful and we enjoyed our staying in Doria hotel. Especially we appreciated its great location and hospitality.
There is no fair next year but we will keep in mind this hotel for our eventual future trips.
Kind regards.

Dear Tom,
The service of Go Fair (your service) was excellent, I would really like to work with you again in 2017 (next Offshore). The people who will go to this fair would like to stay at Skene House Whitehall again, if you could manage this in the future, this would be great. (I don´t really know if Skene House will be exclusively offered by Munroe´s).
Kind regards,
Michaela Dohmen

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
