Hotel Refused to Allow us to Change dates of stay.

We were not able to make trip at this time due to a Visa issue for my wife. We asked if the hotel would allow us to change the dates of our stay. We offered to pay a change fee if they would, but hotel refused our request. I believe this maybe a wonderful hotel, but I cannot recommend it as they are to strict in their policies. We were charged for full price of stay even though we never stayed at hotel, over $1000.00 USD.

The hotel is really close to Zurich HB which makes it really easy to go around Zurich as well as any tours from Zurich. Area near hotel has tons of restaurants and shopping. Rooms are decent. We had a problem with our bathroom drain which caused a lot of spillage. Staff tried to help but kind of punted that it can be cleaned and fixed next day only. This was disappointing and we had to make do with towels on the floor to clean up. Seems like they don’t have much housekeeping staff beyond the day time.
