Nice stay with good but pricey breakfast

Didn’t like self-check-in. Typing personal info on a kiosk outside on a sidewalk is not safe. Parking was “iffy” -if you could find a park place. Room was very clean & having a an actual wash cloth with the towels was great! Missed not having a small refrigerator in room

Excellent facilities. Room was perfect Only complaint: the check-in is processed at a machine and the machine didn’t provide the room number. Thank you to the cleaning lady who gave us the number

Liked: Cleanliness
An ok stay but we didnt see any staff during our stay as the reception has very limited hours (we stayed Friday-Sunday) so it felt quite anonymous. Other guests were clearly smoking in the communal areas as there was an unpleasantly strong smell of smoke in the corridor outside our room.

Not the view we were expecting…

Not many options in the area. Flooring is just stuck on and slippery! Had to ask them to make it safer to walk on w/ quick reclean. No AC, loud construction out of window. The plus is that they have a cute bar/snack room downstairs.

Der Self Check Automat draussen ist ein absolutes no Go. Da die Temperaturen um den Gefrierpunkt waren hat der Touchscrean kaum reagiert. Wir standen 20 Minuten bei eisiger Kälte vor dem Automaten bis es endlich klappte!!

Smooth and high standard

Very happy with the visit. Was just on a travel through switzerland and the parking and the speedy automatic (machine based) checkin made everything smooth. The standard was great.
