Staff are great and rooms are larger than average and exceptionally clean. Can’t beat the location on the edge of downtown.

Quiet with views of the Northern Lights from our room. Breakfast by the fireplace and a warm and friendly bar. Friendly staff, waitresses and front desk. Such an enjoyable experience.

Room was ridiculously hot. They said there was nothing they could do, and that it was a general problem with the hotel. They lent us a fan and we managed to sleep with just the sheet, still hot, with the noise of the fan all night
friendly staff, nice pub

The room felt like a sauna. We called and asked them to fix it. They sent maintenance up to our room. He tried but said that there wasn't a lot he could do because the new addition on the building was adding too much of a strain on the system so they couldn't regulate the heat. It was 29 degrees in our room. The coolest we could get it to was 26. There windows don't open so there was nothing we could do to fix it.
The lobby was really nice and the atmosphere was nice too.

Bathroom might need remodeling a little bit. The tiles looked like old fashion. I didn't give a higher score for value of money because we have two adults and one teen, but we pay the same price as four adults for the double queen beds.
The bed is very comfortable! And the view is awesome!

Ongoing construction was a little bothersome, when you are out most of the night aurora hunting you would like to sleep in but hard to do when you have construction work going on early morning.
Food was great and service was too.
