Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt
Room was amazing. Clean and modern. Staff were great. Breakfast was first class. Did not use wi-if because they wanted my email address. Why? I get enough junk email. AC/Heat was not working but room was cool enough with window open. TV channels were all pixelated so couldn’t watch anything.
