Dear Tom,
We had a good stay. The hotel is clean and people are friendly and helpful but it is really very old fashioned! The furniture and decoration 1970, could become very fancy again in a few years maybe? I recommend to take your own body wash etc with you while theirs isn't good quality. Breakfast is very correct Have a nice day and I will certainly contact you again for a next fair.
Best regards

Thank you as usual and best regards!

Dear Tom,
thank you again for your care and professionalism. For sure I'll address only to you for all future events as well. As for the hotel - it is located very good, the interior layouts are also very good. The only minus there is extremely poor breakfast. Last time in Arosa Hotel, and even in Crown hotel they were much better, being at the same time enough plain.
Thank you again for your help!
Regards,
Irina

Hello George,
Thank you for your follow up call.
Am glad to note that they were all pleased with both hotels. They said the hotels were clean and service was good. They particularly liked the location and the restaurant of Hotel XII Apostel Albergo. The only downside they mentioned to me is the weak wi-fi connection. But overall they were much satisfied.

Dear Megan,
I hope you are doing fine.
Thanks for asking: Vitafoods Europe in Barcelona was great. Although I wasn't there in person, I can share what my colleagues reported: It was a fantastic trade show, we had many visitors and a lot of good conversations.
Your support regarding the organization has been a big part of our success. Our team really liked the hotel, and your coordination with the hotel restaurant for the menu was very helpful to us. Once again, I sincerely thank you for your great support.
We look forward to receiving your offer and continuing the good collaboration with you!
