igloo stay EXCELLENT
friendly staff early check-in luxurious breakfast strong water
I really appreciated the friendly staff. They allowed early check-in as soon as my room was ready. since i had a lengthy flight, this hospitality was so welcome. breakfast offered MANY options. I found it pretty luxurious. the sauna WORKS WELL, and the water pressure was strong. This added greatly to my relaxation after LONG DAYS.
The windows were not as CLEAR as i expected for optimal viewing. Heater operation to melt ice ON WINDOWS was somewhat INEFFECTIVE.
