Good w/Signs of Better

Check-in and auto parking with guest reception went very well. Location of hotel convenient to train station, lake tour boats, and old town historic district. Many restaurant options. Hotel was clean but dated. Could see updates in other rooms on our floor either done or being done so this is a good sign. The un-renovated room we had showed its age. Assuming this continues, I would have no issue staying at this property again.

If you book a zimmer suite and they tell you that you have been upgraded to a room with a kitchen, don't take the upgrade! 4 families had booked Zimmer suites (which were very nicely appointed with large bathrooms), but unfortunately for my husband and I we were upgraded to a room with a kitchen (not useful when only staying for 1.5 days). The bathroom required you to walk sideways into the room (as it was tiny) and there was no where to sit in a large expansive room. Overall the hotel is nice and it is in a great location in Lucerne, but be mindful of them promoting room upgrades from the best rooms in the hotel! Very disappointing!
