Pros +
- Location was excellent, staff was very helpful in helping us plan our days. Very nice, rustic themed hotel in perfect location for day trips to fantastic scenery.
- Cozy and inviting, provides a great view of the northern lights. Staff are very friendly.
Cons -
- The bathroom was a little hard to use. There is a shower head that you can extend to create a shower inside the tub, however the lack of a shower curtain means the water splashes all over the bathroom. The hot water would fluctuate temperature as well.
