Ruby Claire Hotel Geneva
The room was very clean but a little too warm and the cooling didn’t seem to operate. We also had a cleaner walk in without knocking which gave everyone a bit of a shock as it was early morning and we were just getting up.

Friendly professional staff. Clean room. Good breakfast. Great location near the train station with a short walk to the waterfront. Only negatives: no hooks to hang things in the bathroom and no bedside tables.

Very clean, small room. High tech space that included an iPad to control the lighting and window coverings. The room and bathroom lights could be set at different colors! The whole experience, from the digital check in at computers in lobby to the art in the hallways and the carpet were ultra 'cool' ...
