Stayed for 1 night for a business trip.
The location was good as it was located close to the Main station. The room was small and too basic I mean "on the rock" basic . It was one of the Hottest weeks in Switzerland the Hotel did not have any Aircondition like most of the Hotels here. The windows were anti suicide style so you were only able to crack the window. I reside in a hot country and know what hot weather is like and this was like the point were I cracked.
Due to the lack of Aircondition the windows in the corridors were opened and then due to the design of the corridors with Neon lamps it was insect city!!!!!
So while I was working I started noticing insects crawling and then when I saw a FLYING ROACH that was it!!! Luckily I had a bottle of shaving cream to apprehend it.
I then went to reception to change my room but unfortunately the hotel was fully booked.
Mr. Hani at reception was working night shift and he was extremely helpful as he went upstairs to see the situation. He then provided me a can of insecticide and an additional fan. I had no option but to Nuke the corridor as it was filled with insects flying/crawling.
The room and corridor was smelling insecticide and had to keep the room door open for about an hour to ventilate it.
So the result for that evening of adventure was that I finally went to bed at 3:00 am and had to wake at 6:00 am for a meeting but ended up waking at 5:30 am in a pool of sweat.
I would like to thank Mr. Hani again for his kind assistance of the situation.
