Dear Nick,
I'm sorry I could not answer the phone. I was not in business last week, so I'm in a big crowd.
He wants to thank you again for your accommodation.
In Frankfurt, we were very nice. The hotel is close to the fairground and the city center. Rooms are very nice, clean and neat.
Frankfurt is arranged. I hope we stay in touch, and maybe we will be back together with the accommodation
Great regards, Amela

Hi Michelle
Thanks for the follow up on our ProWein 24 trip.
The Mercure served its purpose for us as we were only there a couple of nights - and didn't really spend too much time at the hotel.
We understood hotel was a bit further out (and this was reflected in the pricing) - only slight negative was length of time it took for a taxi to arrive. Would have hoped hotel had a contract with taxi firm to ensure guests don't have too long to wait once ordered. We learned from our initial mistake and ensured we had pre-ordered a taxi for return to airport.
Positives:
Helpful staff
Great humour from barman!
Clean, basic rooms
Negatives:
No safe in room
No iron in room
Length of time for taxis to arrive
Overall, Michelle made the booking process very simple and was a great help with my questions and area information - thank you!
Should we require accommodation for events going forward we'll be in touch.
Thanks
Lisa
