HIX Lucerne-Neuenkirch

HIX Lucerne Neuenkirch Luzern

- What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum Elite
- Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Happy with the stay, sure. Let there be no illusions, this is a roadside motel that happens to have green/blue lighting. Very sparse and serves a need.
- Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Double bed with sofa bed. Rec'd 1x double bed, no sofa bed, changed to 2x single beds. Didn't complain. Whatever.
- How are the rooms?
Very cramped. There is some kind of horse farm next to the property, so you can smell the uh...horses. Plenty of electrical outlets though.
- How is the exec. lounge?
NA.
- What was good and what was bad?
Aforementioned scent of horse puckey, very strange pivoting bathroom door allowing either closed-to-room, or closed-toilet/shower-open-to-room configurations. It's convenient to Luzern (about a 10km drive). Free parking in a well-lit lot. The property is part of a huge rest-stop complex including 2 gas stations, a restaurant, and small grocery, so I think it would be good for families. Has a very American feel - hard to find in Europe.
- Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Breakfast was inclueded, so in Switzerland that's probably a sizeable chunk of the room price. And anywhere in CH lodging is expensive, as well. So I'd say it's a good value.
