Freundliches Personal und sympathischer Gemeinschaftsraum.
Pros:

Das Garni Fontana ist ein paar Schritte vom Bahnhof entfernt und sehr sauber. Beim Eingang befindet sich der Gemeinschaftsraum, wo man auch Tischtennis oder Tischfussball spielen kann. Es gibt zahlreiche Sitzmöglichkeiten und kostenlosen Nespresso Kaffee und Tee. Der Inhaber war sehr freundlich.
Die Zimmer sind schön und zweckmässig eingerichtet.

Cons:

Es wäre praktisch wenn man das Licht vom Bett aus löschen könnte.

Für eine Nacht o.k.
Pros:

Sehr gutes Frühstück mit frischen Früchten.

Cons:

Für die Preiskategorie des Zimmers sollte ein Klimagerät vorhanden sein. Ein Deckenventilator ist bei Temperaturen von 30 Grad ungenügend, weil die Fenster in der Nacht wegen des andauernden Zugverkehrs auf der nahe am Haus vorbeiführenden Bahnlinie geschlossen werden müssen.
