10 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2 the service of assisting guests to and from their taxis
Explanation: "Door-to-door service" is obviously idiomatic, but according to the definition you've quoted (which comes, I presume, from the document itself or from the client), that's not what it means. It's not that the hotel arranges taxis to pick you up from and drop you off at the door. It means that when you arrive by taxi someone comes out of the hotel, opens the taxi door for you, and carries your luggage in, and similarly when you leave. I haven't managed to find a standard expression for this, but I think something like the phrasing I've suggested might work. I wondered about "offering guests assistance in boarding and alighting from their taxis", but on the whole I think "to and from" might be better, because it's a matter of making it easy for guests to get from reception to the taxi and vice versa, not just getting in and out of the taxi. "If you need assistance, the driver can assist you to and from your door to the bus, and from the bus to your door." http://www.hirtapublictransit.com/how-to-ride

| | Grading comment Thank you. For lack of a more concise expression, I opted for a variation of this. |
| Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you Charles, you're right: "door-to-door service" suggests something else. I was hoping to find a standard expression but I may have to expand it as you suggested. See discussion entry. Thank you, again.

13 hrs confidence: taxi/cab rank at the hotel
Explanation: I agree with Charles and Marie that for the service to be highlighted in such a manner it has to be rather more than offering what is in fact a very standard service at any decent hotel anywhere. Having a cab rank at the door might however be, or have been, a novelty. The construction "a la puerta", as in the following examples, can be used for "at the door" rather than "to the door", which is what taxis are supposed to do. ¿Autobús o Taxi?

On further investigation, perhaps "The first Hotel with its own taxi service" would fit the bill. From the following examples, it can be seen that some hotels in Mexico offer their own taxi service tied to the hotel and apparently more expensive. This could well be the new service the hotel is referring to. Mexico Taxis Taxi Cab Fares Costs Safety - Mexperience https://www.mexperience.com/lifestyle/transport/taxi-travel-...

Travelling with disabilities - Turkey Message Board - TripAdvisor https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk › Europe › Turkey › Turkey Travel Forum In Istanbul I would attempt to stay at a hotel that can provide taxi service at the door, and is relatively close to the major sights. One happy thing about Istanbul is that all the modern malls fully accommodate disabled people, and once you are in the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar they are also easy to manage.
