This is a budget motel, no reception and no breakfast facility. They make no bones about this. The access was simple and the room small but comfortable. It is close to the SBB and therefore easily accissible.

We arrived at about 7:30pm and checked in. On going to the restaurant we found that the evening meal times were 18:00 - 19:00! However, the staff were very helpful and found us a table and we ate then. Bothe the room and the meal were very good, the breakfast too. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to try out the amenities. We would go again.
