Fine, fine hotel, but we left sad-hearted
Lovely, cozy, and old-fashioned place. This is the type of hotel we prefer: a one-of-a-kind hotel, greatly loved by its proprietors and its guests. But. Our excitement failed when we learned, the next morning, that we would not be sharing a breakfast provided by the hotel: though we looked, when looking for a hotel, only for those which provided a (free) breakfast. We were informed no, there was, instead, coffee and a croissant and orange juice provided if requested, for a charge. Suddenly the great gift that we thought the hotel would providing us, to begin every person's day, was withdrawn, and we no longer felt kindly hosted. Hotel Geneve was listed in hotel.com's list of hotels near the main train station which provide a breakfast, for free, for their guests. We, not French speakers and from another continent, did not have the courage to insist that breakfast should be provided us. We, almost seventy years old, who have been traveling through Europe for eight months, in eight different countries, and with only one night and one morning in Switzerland, ducked our heads in sorrow and proceeded without, onto the train station and our departure.
We do take great memories with us of the soft beds, the thick duvets, the gentle paintings of cows in the Swiss countryside, and the delightful and rich entry hall, where our fine breakfast would have taken place and cemented our memories forever of being loved, welcomed, and tended as promised in Switzerland.
