Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt!
Pros:

Für mich war alles perfekt. Die Lage, das Personal, das Zimmer. Darüber hinaus hat man mir ein Ticino Ticket offeriert und zu jeder Zeit konnte ich im Frühstücksraum einen Kaffee nehmen. Auch die frühe Check In Zeit war nach meiner Ankunft eine Wohltat!

Cons:

Es wurde grosszügig geheizt und die Luft war etwas trocken... Das hat sich beim Lüften nicht verbessert...

Ich werde wieder kommen, mir gefällt es im Geranio au Lac.
Pros:

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Die Lage ist sensationell gut, beim Bahnhof und tolle Seesicht. Schön ist, dass man auch Velos ausleihen kann.
Das Frühstücksbuffet ist klein und fein, so gefällt mir das. Ich habe auch den Tee oder Kaffee genossen, den ich zwischendurch (auch nach dem Frühstück) geniessen durfte. Toll ist, dass die ÖV Benutzung während des Aufenthalts gratis ist.
