"We only stayed here one night to break up our drive from Rovaniemi to Ovari but it was a great hotel. Clean and spacious rooms and wonderfully friendly staff at check in. The kids made use of the skate park and we played some frisbee golf then wrapped up our day with dinner at their restaurant. We could have stayed another night if we had the time."

"The biggest negative was the gym. The gym consisted of weights and things, no treadmill,no elliptical, etc. It was also very difficult to get the door unlocked. They would be better off saying there is no gym. Every other feature of the hotel was 4 or 5 star."
