Hi Christine,
I’ve appreciated your service and in particular your flexibility. We usually don’t know which staff will be attending our exhibitions until very near the time, and your flexibility with this is important to us and much appreciated.
The rate for the hotel was reasonable. It was near the upper end of our budget, but good value I think, considering the following feedback from staff:
“Hotel was fine, rooms were good and had no problems. Only potential issue was the limited parking, but this didn’t affect me last week.”
“Would definitely stay there again. Staff were really pleasant and helpful, food was good and the location was pretty good too.”
“I would stop there again no problem good rooms good food and good location for city centre.”
Many thanks again for your help.
Kind regards,
Rachel
Hi Tess,
The hotel is splendid and totally fits our purpose ;-) The rooms are really good and the restaurant is totally fine. The bus arrangements seem to work impaccably, which is the first time ever for us during the last 4-5 CPhIs ;-) It was there on time this morning and we are so pleased. The hotel director personally helped out and had service written all over him!
