Interlaken is a nice central location for alpine adventures. At hotel,Breakfast included was a good perk, could have more variety so it was a little different every day, the room was spacious but was missing little details like conditioner, iron and washcloths. Not a lot of food options nearby, had to walk way into town. Room was clean and comfortable, I just think it is very overpriced for what it is.
