Parking is a NIGHTMARE and the staff was rude about helping us figure out parking. They should really have a link that clearly tells people there is NO PARKING at the hotel and where the parking lots are located. (We had to walk .8 of a mile with our luggage which was totally unacceptable for how much we paid per night! They should have at least told us we could drive up and drop our luggage.) The room was big, clean and had a great view. The coffee maker was nice, but instructions in English would have been super helpful (or even a QR code on how to use it)! The bathroom lighting was the worst we have had in all of our stays in Europe.

The price may be a lot higher

The hotel is nice and in a fantastic location. However be very wary about the quote given by Hotels.com. Even though I booked a family room for 4 people including free breakfast, when I checked out of the hotel they charged me for breakfast and an extra "Alloggio" fee for each of my children for an extra 240 francs! This was wildly inconsistent with the Hotels.com quote.

What a view!

Great location, right on the waterfront. Had a great dinner with many good restaurants within a block and nice breakfast in the hotel. Make sure to use the spa on the bottom floor while you are there.

Zimmerwahl ungeschickt

Wir waren im Zimmer 401 mit Dachfenster. Generell war die Höhe der Lukarne knapp. (Bin sicher nicht der ‚Kleinste‘.) Noch prekärer war die Dusche, deren Rahmen so tief war, dass man gar nicht rein- oder rauskam ohne sich bücken zu müssen. Bettdecke und Kissen sind peinlich für den Preis des Zimmers. Flotte Leut; ich weiss es gibt auch andere Zimmer, die ein besseres Preis-/ Leistungsverhältnis haben als dieses grenzwertige Zimmer

Das Personal an der Rezeption war sehr zuvorkommend, kompetent und sehr freundlich. Wir schätzten auch die Möglichkeit sich im Innenschwimmbecken zu erfrischen, und besonders sich auf der Aussen Terrasse über den See und die Landschaft zu erfreuen. Auch der Gratiseistee ab 15.00 Uhr mit Kuchen ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.
