"A wonderful location and a nice room. The breakfast was wonderful and we even walked down near the lake to catch a little view of the aurora around 11 that evening. Front desk staff was very friendly ..."

7 / 10Good·Oct 2026
Location, clean rooms and good bed. Good breakfast.
You had to pay extra for the wellness. That is weird for hotel guests. So we did but they forgot to turn the sauna on so we had to do that ourselves and wait for another 30 minutes.

It was a pretty location - food was good
The begs were not comfortable a pillows were very flat
9 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2026
Front desk staff and bartender made our day at checkin. Dinner was excellent and wait staff moved us to be more comfortable. Breakfast was also very good and met our needs. Room temperature was comfortable and easy to regulate with windows.
My research strongly suggest we not stay in this town. However, our stay and meals were excellent.
