2. Cancellation: keep your options open
During a trade show, non-refundable rates are cheaper but commit you even if your plans change. On Booking, filter for “Free cancellation” and note the exact cancellation deadline, including the time and the hotel’s time zone.
Also check whether the hotel charges a deposit or the full stay when you book.
3. Total cost: compare the real price
Include car rental or fuel in the total cost: without a car, getting between the hotel, area30 and nearby showrooms becomes difficult.
To compare two hotels, add up: nightly rates, taxes and fees, breakfast if you want it, and the round trip to the show for each day.
The same week, many manufacturers open their showrooms in the region (Küchenmeile A30): hotels are in high demand.
