I know Frankfurt doesn't have the reputation of other more interesting Germany cities, but I am curious if it's worth ~6 hours of walking around (accounting for a nap at the start and transit back to FRA at the end).
Thanks much.
Personally I would go into the city and stay at the Westin and walk around. This way you can always go back to the hotel for drinks and snacks. You can also walk around in the evening if you're not tired.
FRA Sheraton is nice, but once you go back to the hotel you're back for good. You have more flexibility at the Westin. If it's a weekend, rates at the Westin can be lower than FRA Sheraton.
