The rooms are exactly what you'd expect from a Holiday Inn Express - neat, simple, and well taken care of. However, I did find a piece of food on his side of the bed against a wall where it looked like nobody cleaned. The staff deserves special mention, especially Nina at the front desk, she had the area cleaned up and she was incredibly kind and helpful with everything from directions to restaurant suggestions. She really took the time to make sure we were comfortable and gave us some great ideas for local food and places to check out.The only real downside was the location. Luckily, dislocation had a breakfast buffet, which was one of the best buffets we had the whole time we were overseas. It's part of a rest stop area right off the highway, which has its pros and cons.
On the plus side, there's a small CO-OP store, a Burger King, and a nice little vegetarian buffet right nearby -- all within easy walking distance. So grabbing food or snacks was really convenient. But if you don't have a car, it can be tricky. The nearest bus stop is over a mile away, and the walk goes through a housing area where a few dogs wander around freely. I actually had to watch out a couple of times to keep my wife and myself safe during our walk. After that, she decided taxis were the better option, and I didn't blame her. Still, the views around the area are beautiful -- peaceful Swiss countryside make it feel calm and scenic.
Overall, the stay was comfortable and enjoyable once we figured out how to get around. If you have your own car or plan ahead for transport, I'd definitely recommend it.
