Stoos Lodge

Stoos Lodge

8/10 Good
"So first things first, it's a super clean, modern and very trendy hotel! Would go back for sure. The staff is very nice and helpful, rooms are clean, area is very convenient and the food is pretty good. There was only one tiny little detail that bugged us: maybe it was the time of year, but regardless seems like the hotel caters quite a bit to families and young kids. The place was PACKED with screaming, running and playing 5-10 year olds. Not that we don't like kids, but it was a bit intense, and because it's marketed as a spa/lounge, it caught us off guard. Also, the breakfast is good, but IMO some commenters are overselling it a bit. It's fine, not exceptional."

"Dear black travelers, this is . Switzerland made me feel like home away from home, at this hotel specifically. We had an amazing time here! The staff is very friendly and speaks English well. The breakfast hours are 0630-1030 and the selection is very nice. They had a mix of traditional american choices (bacon, scrambled and boiled eggs, toast, yogurt) and European choices (assorted seeds and nuts, many different types of breads and crossants, ham, salami, cured meats, and cheese). The casino is a decent size. It has a couple blackjack tables, roulette, and 1 table thats the equivalent to ultimate Texas holdem. Then ofcourse an assortment of slots. The restaurant is also pretty good. When you go in your room there may be a large circular paper that looks like a casino chip. You can use 1 per day, per person. Ensure you take it daily to the check in desk in the casino or cashiers cage if the promotion is going on. Its 10 free CHF. They also offer discounts for the waterpark thats a short walk away. The room was comfortable and the shower water was very very very hot. Be careful. The bathroom could have been cleaner but it wasnt too horrible."
