That is more than a fair assessment and you are correct the airport hotels serve a different demographic that would need the rooms as ready as they can get with an early arrival into FRA a before the traditional check in time.
Unfortunately the conference is actually at the airport so I can’t stay at the Westin like I would which means I need to reach out to the Ambassador team and request for a Your24 to avoid being charged €15 to check in a hour earlier than planned.
