This would have to be the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. The 2 rooms we booked for 2 nights were not the rooms that were allocated to us. We were allocated rooms that would normally fit a single bed. Our rooms had a queen bed shoved up against a wall with only one table lamp attached to a desk area and no bedside tables. When we spoke to the receptionist, Laura, to discuss our concerns about the rooms we had booked, we were met with a very defensive and aggressive response from her advising us that the rooms were in their category and that we needed to do better research because the rooms advertised on Expedia were not their rooms. When I checked the hotel's website the rooms we booked were the same as the rooms advertised on the Expedia website. Laura's excuse for putting us in these youth hostel, dorm style rooms was that it was the same category. We're we eventually moved to a room consistent with the advertised room, and our booking, for our second night but they could not or would not move the other couple we were travelling with. This hotel is deceitful, untrustworthy and I would not recommend staying at this hotel under any circumstances. The treatment we received ruined our Zurich experience.

Parking is an adventure. Expecting to find parking at the hotel, I circled the block a few times trying to figure out what I was overlooking. I finally found somewhere to park and walk to the hotel. The staff was very nice, but I was instructed to pull in front of the hotel to unload our bags, then someone would show us where to park. The lady who rode with me and took me to the garage with the elevator I had to drive into was very nice. The man who took me back to get my car at the end of my stay was not particularly friendly, nor was he patient as I tried to drive a rental car I wasn’t exceedingly familiar with, into an elevator that felt like it barely fit. The hotel itself was nice though and in a good location.
