Marty, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff was very friendly. Check-in was easy and room was ready early. Breakfast was offered at a fee, but was well worth it. We came to learn that breakfast is not “a thing“ in Switzerland. Most places offer coffee and a baked good. Breakfast at the hotel was a full spread, including eggs, bacon, meat, yogurt, cheeses, fruit, pastries, jams, and various toppings. very pleased with our stay.

Pamela, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice hotel near many shopping / restaurants in the main area near the river. Easy walk to get there. Rooms are updated and comfortable however they use good old fashion keys for the door locks - be sure to use it to lock your door when inside, door doesn’t automatically lock. We were in room 203 and the sewer odor smell was absolutely terrible. My sister was on 407 and had no odor detectable in her room. Other than the odor we would stay here again.
