I was greeted by a friendly polar bear in the lobby which was complete with a fireplace and chairs. The breakfast was an expansive treat. I got to try things I never would have before like Scandinavian caviar in a tube and brown cheese while enjoying amazing views. I was not expecting a heated floor in the bathroom. It was such a treat to step into a toasty environment to brush my teeth.
