A classic hotel conveniently located and spacious comfortable rooms suffering only from poor shower. In fact, part of the family preferred to use the hotel pool and sauna rather than the shower.

We were disappointed with our stay. For a five-star hotel at this price point, our expectations weren’t met. We booked a classic city view room—not a suite—which felt small, outdated, and had an unusually low shower head (I’m 5’11” and had to squat to rinse). Service was mixed: check-in was friendly with great food tips, but bar service was very slow. Other issues included early morning construction noise, undelivered luggage, malfunctioning key cards and Wi-Fi, and repeated trips to reception. These may have been isolated issues, but overall, the experience didn’t match the cost or reputation. We won’t be returning on our next visit to Lucerne.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was in a beautiful location I heard a lot of great things about the hotel but when we arrived they mentioned that since we had kids we would need to pay for a larger room even though I had paid for a queen bed and was apparently upgraded to 2 twin beds. They said it was the law or fire hazard, something of that nature made no sense to me. The larger room wasn’t necessary because our kids are tiny toddlers but they still required me to pay extra for the upgrade. That threw me off because that’s never been a thing that I have ever experienced with 2 toddlers. We probably wouldn’t go back for this very reason.
