Half-timbered houses serving Swiss grub line the Rhine, but the quality can be hit or miss.
HOTEL ADLER $$
( 052 742 61 61;
www.adlersteinamrhein.ch
;
Rathausplatz 2; s/d Sfr130/185; )
Behind the fres-
coed exterior lie simple yet comfortable rooms. The location on Rathausplatz is the big
draw. The dining areas have a pleasingly old-fashioned feel about them and the grub,
while nothing outlandishly creative, hits the spot. Local fish is a safe bet.
