Good value for the money except on hot summer days

Pros: Clean, modern rooms. Complimentary tramway ticket for the entire stay.
Cons: Air conditioning in the bedrooms!
Location: Go location near a tramway stop. Close to the German railway station, not the Swiss railway station.
No room air conditioning! Hotel provided a small fan which was not adequate to deal with the 90 degree temperatures outside.
