Hello Tess,
All went fine, we enjoyed the hotel due to its walking distance location, but the only downside was the breakfast.

Dear George,
Thank you for your e-mail.
During our stay at AXYHOTELS InnStyle in Milan, the hotel staff took great care of us. We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the hotel, its location and the free refreshments provided throughout the day. We would like you to know that if we were to travel to Milan again, we would choose the same hotel.
In addition, George has always been very attentive to us. We have been very happy to work with him over the years. He makes a great effort to solve all our problems and requests with the same courteous approach.
On behalf of our company, we sincerely thank you.

Megan Moore was grand to work with... We had on-off-on again hotel guests. She found the highest quality hotel at the lowest price for us in a popular Paris neighbourhood - 5 stars at 2 star prices! Megan also found some great deals for us in other tier one cities as well - low prices, high quality - during peak exposition times. Will certainly use her again!
