"Breakfast was great, also a great spot with our toddler. Parking is a bit extreme. I would pay street parking 6.50CHF instead of 50 CHF a night for parking. The street parking wasn't told by the concierge just that it was 50 in there park or 45 across the street. Which wasn't helpful at all."

"Great location. Not sure if everywhere in Switzerland is like this; This is the only place we stayed. We were only there for two days. But we didn’t like that we couldn’t control the room temperature from the room. I really like the in room coffee maker."
