The cafeteria space on the 2nd floor (one floor above the lobby) is very "family friendly", with lots of tables and chairs, paper dishes and cups, and especially the water server, which serves cold and hot water, and even gassed water. We bought food at COOP, and had a good time there!!

It was good for a one night stay. Be aware that if you have multiple people the shower is see through and open in the room. We had to leave the room for people to shower.

It's ok, nothing more. Small room, small shower, sink in room. No electricity plug next to the bed. No hair dryer. Worse than a $39 motel room in the USA and it's 200+ Swiss francs. Parking 22.- additional per night and the garage smelled of trash. One good point: it's cheaper than the Novotel next door.
