Wonderful hotel with excellent amenities - hot tubs, pool table, darts and even their own beer (the porter was very good)! They alerted us quickly when the northern lights were showing. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious, with lots of options. We had a fantastic stay, thank you!
