Do not book at this place until the dust settles! There is construction going on all around the…read morehotel, on three sides. No nice view of Lake Lucern, just cranes and bulldozers. We pulled up for a 3 night stay, thinking that we would be at a quiet, country Inn 15 minutes outside Lucern, Switzerland. Imagine my surprise!! I told the owner, that we could not stay there. He insisted on still charging me $113 US for the first night, because he said we had a contract with booking.com. I told him that he had falsely represented his hotel. If we had known what was going on, we would not have booked there. I told him that I was a light sleeper, plus I am on vacation and want to sleep in. That is why I booked a place outside of the big city. He said it is no problem, they start working at 07:30AM. He had to be kidding!! What kind of peaceful morning is that? He really should have closed up for a few weeks until all the demolition was complete. We were in Switzerland for three weeks. I have family all over the country, plus we stayed in over 12 other hotels. This is the only unreasonable person we ran into. Pure greed!! I plan on contesting this charge with MasterCard. I have used booking.com over 100 times, over the past decade and this has been my only fail. I religiously read the reviews before booking. Drag is, that because I did not technically stay there, I am not able to give a review on Booking.com. Booking.com actually called me in response to an email I sent them about this place and advised me to put in my review on YELP and Trip Advisor. I also occasionally write review for the Los Angeles Times newspaper for other travelers. So far, I have only posted positive reviews. But, I plan on posting my opinion about this hotel and it will be far from positive!! I just do not want this to happen to anyone else. In the end, we went in to Lucern and got a nice, quiet room for the same amount of money.
