Good enough for a short stay, overpriced for what it is but I guess that’s everything in Switzerland. Location is great

A disappointing experience. I broke my leg whilr staying here, after 4 days in bed they insisted I check at 10am. I didn't think it was much to stay 2 hours longer as I'm trying to keep it together whilst heading home from a holiday ending injury. So I just got to wait and cry in front of strangers in a common room, what a vibe for everyone. My bed was free to breify vaccum around and place folded sheets on top though. Phew! There were some beautifully and kind guests staying, thats a plus.
