Excellent Hotel with Aurora Wake-Up!

heated floorfriendly staffaurora call
I appreciated the heated bathroom floor. It added comfort. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They provided excellent service, so that was something. The hotel offers an aurora wake-up call, just in case the lights appear. It was perfect since I wanted to see them.
The gym had only three cardio machines and a straight view into the pool area. Both spaces felt a bit awkward.
Service
10/10
The staff responded quickly to requests and provided helpful information. I noticed they were efficient and professional, so I was charmed by the service, but the waiters are nice.

A Nice Stay

amazing breakfasthelpful servicesauna
The breakfast was amazing with diverse selections. We used their northern lights wake-up call service, so helpful, and witnessed the lights without waiting for hours.
The sauna was not working. It was something I was looking forward to. This was the reason I was willing to pay more than other accommodations.
