We were stuck in Frankfurt having missed our connection due to a snowstorm. The airport line-ups were horrendous and we were advised that most hotels were full, so they found us a room at the Memphis Hotel. The taxi driver was not happy with the location of the hotel and it was a small, somewhat shabby entrance. However the room was clean, the girl at the desk was ultra helpful with all our international phoning, faxing and internet use due to this unplanned stay. There was even a little bar beside the front desk. Our luggage was somewhere at some airport and they gave us toiletries. We walked down to the Christmas market that eve and it was magical. The next day, after a wonderful breakfast in the hotel (we were surprised to get one) we walked to the train station and took a train back to the airport. Our insurance is covering the stay which was cheap. We wouldn't have changed this unplanned experience and it is one of our best memories of that trip. With all the walking, we never felt unsafe. The friendly, little hotel was our homey haven from the storm and fuss at the airport. We will always fondly remember the Memphis.
