"Good place to stay since Bern station is just 10 mins away and the bus stop is across the road. Room cleaning was not up to standard. Bed was made up and trash was cleaned. That's about it. Vaccuming or swiping the tables once in three night would have been nice. Pillows were not comfortable. Bed was good. AC didn't work. If it did, it never brought the temp below 27 degrees when people were inside. I kept windows open at night. Friendly and responsive staff"
