the hotel provided a complimentary bus coupon, which greatly assisted with transportation to the airport. i appreciated the prompt attention to my request for a plug adapter, given switzerland uses different sockets. i thought this was considerate.

mixed feelings about my stay
tram noiseoverpriced breakfast
The noise was quite disruptive. I could hear trams frequently. it seemed like the trams were right in the room. the breakfast, at 20 euros, felt overpriced considering the nearby options. i also found the "free mini bar" misleading, as it only contained water.
