Sievä ja siisti kaupunki
Hyvä sijainti. Vaikka Zürich onkin käveltävä kaupunki, meni motellin läheltä monta ratikkalinjaa.
Aamiainen oli maukas. Oli paljon paikallisia juustoja.
Sänky oli todella hyvä, ei liian pehmeä. Oli omat peitot ja kunnon pussilakanat. Ei mitään huopa+irtolakana -virityksiä.
Ainoa miinus siitä, että huoneessa ei ollut minibaaria.

We enjoyed the hotel very much. It just lacked in some personal amenities: glass for drinking, instead a paper cup for example.

Hotel was great . Good value compared to others but mainly a business hotel. As a tourist not very convenient, far from shops and restaurants and a 8 minute walk to the lake , there is a gym right next door that was great for locals mainly , people are very friendly overall but would have preferred a hotel in the middle of shopping areas
