NO NO NO. also, i found out this person lives in the city i live in, and nope, i would definitely NOT say we&#8217;re in a hotbed of culinary excellence. (i appreciate the diversity of food we get in our Bay Area suburb, but to say it&#8217;s &#8220;delicious fusion food&#8221; is a bit of a stretch.)<\/p>\n<p>her third point about the hotel being far away from the city center&#8230;well, at first i was irate because i thought that just meant poor planning on her part, because if you didn&#8217;t figure out that the airport is not steps away from say, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zeil\">Die Zeil<\/a>, whose fault is that? certainly not the hotel&#8217;s. did it advertise as being close to downtown? i doubt it.<\/p>\n<p>i then gave it a second look as i was pulling up the review to write this post and thought maybe she is just giving advice in case people were thinking of heading into town, but then i saw she gave the hotel two stars for location.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5655\" style=\"width: 870px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Unterschweinstiege+16,+60549+Frankfurt+am+Main,+Germany&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=50.081599,8.646927&amp;spn=0.210615,0.601501&amp;sll=50.110939,8.583128&amp;sspn=0.420973,1.203003&amp;hnear=Unterschweinstiege+16,+60549+Frankfurt+am+Main,+Darmstadt,+Hessen,+Germany&amp;t=m&amp;z=12\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5655\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5655 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/wanderlusty\/files\/2014\/06\/map.jpg\" alt=\"map\" width=\"860\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/wanderlusty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/\/sites\/48\/2014\/06\/map.jpg 860w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/wanderlusty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/\/sites\/48\/2014\/06\/map-300x208.jpg 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/wanderlusty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/\/sites\/48\/2014\/06\/map-400x278.jpg 400w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/wanderlusty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/\/sites\/48\/2014\/06\/map-200x139.jpg 200w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/wanderlusty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/\/sites\/48\/2014\/06\/map-150x104.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is why God invented Google Maps.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>did you <em>not<\/em> investigate the location of the hotel before booking? the hotel&#8217;s name even has the word &#8220;Airport&#8221; in it. if you wanted to visit the heart of Frankfurt, you should have booked a hotel in the heart of Frankfurt.
