riverside locationfriendly staff
the riverside location provided easy access for viewing the northern lights (i saw them twice!). the staff were always available and quite friendly. i appreciated that activities could be booked directly from the reception desk.
the walls seemed a little thin, making hallway noises somewhat audible.
