10/10 Excellent
"Only two small complaints. The bartender was not the friendliest person. He just did his job and that was all I can say. Also I don't understand why showers in Switzerland have no door. I am 6' 3" and 210 pounds. There is no way to keep water in the shower without a door to close. I guess that's not a hit against the Radisson as much as it is just Switzerland in general. Otherwise our stay was great."
