Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt
The hotel was very close with frequent shuttle service between the airport and hotel every 20 minutes. We arrived early and asked if we could get into our room early. The desk staff said it would cost use EU40 if we wanted in before 3pm. I thought this was not fair since they had room open.
