We loved our stay at The Pollux, beautiful rooms, great location. A wonderful breakfast was included. We had dinner one night at their downstairs restaurant, delicious traditional Swiss fair. The room was a little warm and the location a little noisy to have the windows open. We would recommend and stay here again.
