This property is dated, needs renovated! I don’t agree with all the high ratings! It is clean but rooms are noisy can hear every guest coming in and out and talking! Food choices not great and very pricey! Staff are very friendly! Would opt for something a bit more updated if visited area again!

The room was too hot and the front desk informed us about no hot water in the whole town due to construction nearby. However, the hot water was actually there with reduced pressure. The blackout curtains were useful. The breakfast buffet was good. The flies are annoying.

We loved the two staff that helped us check in. They were frank and humorous about the midges. The breakfast was great and the staff was excellent in the morning. The room was standard. Bed was comfortable especially after a day of hiking.

Great hotel, excellent breakfast with all amenities including bacon, sausages and eggs. The only thing that made it grade were the midges. They were everywhere. Can’t be outside because they were so bothersome

Great hotel by lake

Hotel doesnt look good on outside (ripped signage) but it great on inside. We stayed on 3rd floor with great views of lake. Room super clean and looked new. Bathroom very clean and new. Food was good. Breakfast was buffet style. Staff spoke english and were very friendly.

Aged rooms but very clean. Restaurant was excellent! Lobby is comfortable and we got very lucky to experience an incredible Northern Lights show! All staff was friendly and helpful! Pool table and darts were fun. Espresso machine accessible 24/7 helped us stay awake for the show and warmed us going in and outside all night.

Property has a ton of character with plenty of artwork and local style throughout. Not a sanitized cookie cutter room or resort. Views out the window were pseudo volcanoes we walked the next day. How amazing. On check-in staff asked if we wanted to be put on the Aurora wake up call list and we said yes. This was the best decision of our trip. After a failed aurora tour earlier in our trip, at midnight we got an hour long show of terrific quality, vibrance and color. Wow! No one else was around and our photos came out great, with the aurora sillouetted by volcanoes. Also, amazing pizza they held for us in the pizza oven (at their suggestion) when they knew we would be arriving late from an activity. These are the extra mile things that make memories. Thanks.
