This is a great hotel, located about 10-15 minutes from the city center. The hotel provides hourly shuttle service to and from the main railroad station (the last shuttle returns at 7:30 PM, though, so a taxi -- about 30 CHF -- is required after that time). We added our Starwood Preferred Guest number to the reservation (you can sign up online if you don't have a number) and were given a SPG-designated room overlooking the city, including robes, slippers, and a very thoughtful welcome package consisting of fruit and chocolates. This large room had a very comfortable king-sized bed, small table and two chairs, and a balcony with another table and two chairs. There was no air conditioning (a fan was provided), but we didn't miss it as the temperature was quite comfortable, especially for July. The staff was very helpful and polite. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
