We got a family size room and found the space to be clean with a well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Kitchen: sink, fridge, utensils, cleaning supplies (must wash your own dishes), 4 person dining table. Beds: Twin beds, comfortable and standard. Bathroom: Included all basic amenities, towel warmer, standing shower. Overall this place was a safe, solid choice for the area. The highlight was the well equipped kitchen. Everything else was standard. Would recommend if looking for a safe, basic stay with an actual kitchen (vs minibar).

We loved our stay! The little apartments are very nice and clean and we didn’t need a thing! The Area is gorgeous, and was the perfect home base for all our tours and activities, and even though we where at the very tail end of northern light season we got to see them on one of our nights spend there, because it’s nice and dark there. The only wish we would have had would be coat hooks or a wardrobe. There was two hangers in the closet but it being cold most of the year we had multiple coats, rain jackets and hoodies and they seemed to be always in our way. And the shower in our apartment isn’t sealed on the bottom anymore and so it’s unavoidable that the bathroom gets “flooded” when showering.

The area and room are beautiful! We loved the little deck attached to the room and our beautiful view. The room we had also had a kitchen, which would be useful if you're staying for a few days, as the area doesn't have a lot of restaurants near by. I would definitely love to stay here again!

The elderly couple that manage the hotel are extremely nice and accommodating. We had a long drive and the couple made exceptions for dinner even though kitchen was closing. They also opened breakfast early for us since we had to leave early in the morning. Highly recommended!

Excellent property and location! We stayed one night on our return from the north to the airport. The staff was incredibly kind and the room was large and well stocked with everything you could need. We stayed in the family suite and it had a sliding glass door overlooking the river. I randomly opened the curtain and was greeted with the most beautiful display of the Northern Lights. We watched beside the river and it was truly a magical experience. I would definitely stay here again!

Modem well furnished studio
The double room with balcony was in very good condition, clean and gave the impression of being recently refurbished. The room was a studio with the bed, seating and kitchen all in one room and then en-suite bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped but it was a little odd not to have a table of dining height to eat on. Instead we sat on the floor using the coffee table (there was a sofa just not the right height for the table). Bed very comfortable. Water in shower hot. Room nice temperature. We could park directly outside to unload but then had to park the car further away overnight (but all off street).
