My stay at The Swiss Cottage had its ups and downs. While the breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and the rooms were impeccably clean, I felt like the decor was in sore need of modernization. Additionally, the rules that were laid out felt a bit overbearing, especially when we weren't even offered a simple breakfast option before an early checkout. Overall, it was a mixed experience that left me feeling disappointed.
