anyway Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 I'm getting an offer of $142 for 4* hotel in Frankfurt, 1 room, 3 persons, Aug 8-10.Amenities:BeachfrontOceanfrontSlopesideRestaurantPoolHigh-speed Internet AccessBusiness CenterAny ideas which one it could be? If I book and don't like the result, what are the chances of getting a refund because there's no ocean nearby? :)
thereuare Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 Gave a quick look and couldn't come up with anything... maybe somebody who knows the area better than i do could comment on a hotel that is both oceanfront and slopeside?!?!

anyway Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Posted June 12, 2006 There is neither ocean nor any slopes near Frankfurt...
thereuare Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 What i'm assuming is a river on the map... just how big is it? Is there a 'beach' (or anything that could resemble a beach) along side where people could lay out in the sun or going swimming in it? For example, Lake Michigan certainly isn't an ocean, but a hotel on the banks could certainly be consdidered Beachfront, Oceanfront, etc.As far as slopeside i can't think of any 'remote' misinterpretations.... except maybe if there is a tram type of tourist attraction to the top of a mountain (obviously more for a view from the top of the mountain rather than for skiing).I'm not saying that either of the above would be proper use of Hotwire's amenity icons, but trying to speculate the loosest interpretation of why they may be in use, given you said that neither exist in Frankfurt. I'll try a bit more research later in the day to see if can come up with anything more on this property.

anyway Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Posted June 12, 2006 I've been in Frankfurt only a couple of times, but noticed there are some nice parks along Main on the outskirts of the city where you can rent a paddle boat etc, but nothing like beach, and certainly no swimming there.As far as something resembling slopeside, the nearest mountains are Taunus mountain range (Altkoenig, Feldberg), but they at least 10 km form the city...
thereuare Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 10km = 6.25 miles :)I'll try to have another look later tonite (but things a little swamped on my end lately) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
Chris26WI Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 What Frankfurt zone is that for? Center? Did you check with Expedia?
anyway Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Posted August 9, 2006 B zone, just "Frankfurt". I checked Expedia and looks like it's Arabellasheraton.The hotel is available at the same price during Bookmesse, looks like a great deal.
thereuare Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 What did you do for this stay... looks like your check-in date has already passed? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
anyway Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Posted August 10, 2006 We did arrive a couple of days earlier; didn't use Hotwire, found a better deal on hrs.de, so can't confirm that it's really Arabellasheraton. Didn't see any slopes or ocean either. :)
