The hotel provided a very cute atmosphere, i must say. the lobby featured a coffee and tea station and snacks available almost all the time. I found this particularly convenient. i also enjoyed the waffles during breakfast, a very nice touch. the free breakfast was plentiful, and it featured much variety.
The hotel room was uncomfortably warm, i noticed. This did affect my sleep somewhat.

the location is pretty isolated, ideal if you want to get away from it all. this seclusion is perfect for viewing the aurora borealis, though the night has to be clear. it's a great place to escape!

Acceptable stay with minor issues

waffle stationhelpful staffbed hairshigh-pitched noise
The breakfast was good, with a decent selection of items to start the day. I especially appreciated the self-serve waffle station. It was a nice touch. The staff were polite. They provided useful information about local attractions.
Unfortunately I found a couple of hairs in the bed. This made me question the overall cleanliness of the bedding. a high-pitched noise came from the bathroom throughout the night. This disturbed my sleep and made it difficult to rest well
