Landing at Freidrichshafen airport, we booked to stay here for one night before continuing on to Innsbruck.

Despite paying a deposit, which they took from my account, I was contacted (by email) with only a copule of days left before our flight to say we no longer had a room.

We were advised of two other hotels in the area. However, these were both fully booked, not to mention more expensive.

I'm really appalled that we recieved a cancellation via email without
so much as a telephone call. There was no apology nor pratical help to arrange alternative accomodation. Had I not checked my email, I would have arrived in Friedrichshafen late on a Saturday evening with
nowhere to stay.

I am still yet to have my deposit refunded.

On a more positive note, I was able to arrange alternative accommodation in Lindau. Despite being much further from the airport, it was amazingly easy to get to, one quick cheap trainride from the airport - we were in our hotel room in under an hour from landing!

Lindau is one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited! We stayed at the Hotel Am Holderegganpark and, if you are looking for a stopover, I'd strongly reccomend it!
