Great hotel, excellent breakfast with all amenities including bacon, sausages and eggs. The only thing that made it grade were the midges. They were everywhere. Can’t be outside because they were so bothersome

The room was too hot and the front desk informed us about no hot water in the whole town due to construction nearby. However, the hot water was actually there with reduced pressure. The blackout curtains were useful. The breakfast buffet was good. The flies are annoying.

Aged rooms but very clean. Restaurant was excellent! Lobby is comfortable and we got very lucky to experience an incredible Northern Lights show! All staff was friendly and helpful! Pool table and darts were fun. Espresso machine accessible 24/7 helped us stay awake for the show and warmed us going in and outside all night.
