Τhank you dear Megan for the super-fast actions!
Everything was fine! Milan suites is a very nice hotel!
Unfortunately, as you know, I gave my place to other colleague, and I stayed to another hotel, but the feedback I have got from my manager and colleagues was great!
Thank you so much for your support and looking forward to work with you again for our next booking in Frankfurt!
Best regards,

Morning Tom,
The trip was a success thank you.
The hotel was adequate. Rooms were clean but a little too small. Breakfast was fine. Last time we visited Bauma 3 years ago we stayed at the Cocoon hotel ‘same area’ which was much more spacious.

J’espère que vous allez bien, le salon de la piscine s’est bien déroulé pour nous et notre Equipe a été très satisfaite de l’hôtel.
Je vous remercie pour votre accompagnement, votre disponibilité et votre efficacité.
Peut-être à bientôt pour une nouvelle aventure 😊
Encore merci.
Bien cordialement.

Dear Tom,
The fair went quite well.
They told me that their stay at the Aparthotel Lenau was very good and that they didn't have any major problems. The only drawback was being on the 4th or 5th floor without an elevator (especially for carrying suitcases), and during check-in, some of the terminals weren't working, so it took quite a while, but otherwise, it was in a great location, very easy to park, spacious and clean rooms... Very good.
We are not going to reserve anything for future editions yet, as we are not sure whether we will participate directly or through an agent/distributor.
As soon as we have any needs again, I will contact you, as our experience with you has been very good, with very quick responses and excellent service.
Best regards,
Eli POZO
