Overall great stay and cozy room for us… the receptionist greeted us with friendly smile… the hotel has a restaurant next to it and we had our dinner there since there’s no kitchenette for us to prepare our own dinner…

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
At first it was skeptical because the property is under construction. It seems they are adding a few rooms and possibly an elevator. The room was spacious and comfortable. It’s in the middle of a small town with a craft store a short walk away. There is a river walk and a cafe also within walking distance. The breakfast was good and would have probably cost $50 (for two people )if you had to pay for it somewhere else. The key system lets you conveniently leave the hotel and reenter should you try to catch the northern lights in the middle of the night.

Comfy beds, free breakfast

We were so exhausted, we all fell into the most comfortable beds and slept. The place was a bit dated but none of that mattered as everything was clean and wonderful. The only drawback is that the free breakfast came with spoiled milk and got all of us sick from drinking it.

Close to a town

Very nice small hotel with an attached restaurant. This was a one night stay and the room was adequate for the 3 of us. We left early so did not get to try the breakfast. It was quiet and comfortable.

Great little hotel room with my breakfast buffet.

This was a great place to stay while we were chasing waterfalls and going to the Lava Center. Nothing fancy but quiet, clean, and comfortable, with an attached restaurant that was very convenient.
