Pros:

Loved the calmness at the place. The room was good and large enough for family.
All amenities were well explained in site, by people.
We had to do a late check in, so had I called in to tell. All things were ready and kept before we arrived.

Génial !
Pros:

L'emplacement à 10min à pieds de la gare, 15 du centre-ville
Le restaurant indien du même domaine (nourriture et acceuil au top)
La vue et l'accès à la rivière
La très grande superficie de la chambre

Cons:

En cas de sensibilité, prévoir des protections contre le bruit (bouchons d'oreilles) et la lumière (masque pour les yeux) :
- craquement des tuyauteries
- porte d'entrée en vitre (teintée) sans rideaux

Highly recommend. Well worth the cost considering the great location
Pros:

Relative to other hotel in the area, River Village is the most reasonable. The walk along the river was great (without luggage after check in). Very good size of room. Good that there’s a kettle, coffee and crème for us coming from US 😊

Cons:

The walk to hotel when we had luggage. They can probably charge extra for pick up. But owner was so nice to give us a ride leaving hotel because he happen to be available

Embarrassed that I allowed myself to be conned into staying at this place.
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

The wi-fi was mostly useless for most of our visit until the manager brought a tech on site to fix it. We had flies in our room every night. No cabs in the vicinity and no manager on duty until 3 PM to call a cab. We were obliged multiple times to walk nearly a mile to town to find food, either supermarket or restaurant. We had no interest in the Indian food served on site. We were provided 3 towels for 2 people for 3 nights. Room accommodations were roughly equivalent to Motel 6, and at $500/night represented a total ripoff.

Pros:

Location was not too bad, by the river with acceptable distance to town center

Cons:

There was a thick moldy smell in the room. Probably due to poor ventilation. There was no active ventilation, not even a passive vent. Not even in the bathroom. Having doors open was not enough to vent the smell. Entry door open at night was anyway not allowed, and one of many weird rules that was under threat of 500 CHF fine or even arrest, through rules posted in the room. The weirdest rule was that if you let the shower curtain fall outside the bathtub, or otherwise spilled water on the bathroom floor, you would be fined a minimum of 500 CHF. I counted close to 20 rules on posts in the room, some normal but several weird, under threat of large fines or even arrest. Bad air quality was the biggest drawback though.
