The staff was fantastic, especially the breakfast crew. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I am not giving five stars as our room was just outside the elevator. Although we had no mechanical noise, when folks were waiting their voices traveled through the door. The room was also definitely “cosy”. Not big issues, we are spoiled and made our stay just a touch less comfortable. We thank you all for the stay in Lucerne.
