Radisson Hotel & Suites Zurich
"We were very dissatisfied with the hotel not having air conditioning. According to their amenities it said they have air conditioning, it’s really only a fan system and we had to keep the windows open because the air was so stagnate. If they advertise AC that’s what you expect. Never again"
