Hotel California was a nice hotel, lovely room, great bed though it would be nice to have more than one pillow per person. Great location in the old town and very walkable to everything. The staff was very friendly and very helpful but the only drawback is that if you have a car and need to load or unload your luggage, there is some controversy over how long you can stay. We were told if we gave them our license number they would get a special permit for us to remain there for up to 1/2 hour, but the receptionist in the morning didn't know anything about this and it took several employees to put their heads together to do this. Meanwhile, a delivery person was very angry that we were parked in "his space" even though it was long after deliveries were supposed to arrive. Other than that, our stay was wonderful, the breakfasts were good and plentiful and again, the staff was really nice and really made an effort to help us. Speaking English was a challenge for some of the staff but they spoke much better english than I spoke German. Zurich is wunderbar!
