"The room was clean and comfortable. The beds were also comfortable. The staff were wonderful and called us to let us know the northern lights were visible. We ate dinner at the hotel and we thought it wasn’t very good. The breakfast was okay though and had lots of options. I feel their food lacks flavor. The ice cream shop next door had delicious ice cream!"
