Agnes was very helpful with tips and we had a good stay at the hotel. We enjoyed the spa, which was very basic and did not have amenities such as lotion. It was free for us because of an upgrade through hotels.com, but it would not have been worth paying for separately.

Checking in was quick and easy. Staff was friendly. The room and beds were fine... however, the bathroom had an empty box of tissues and the toilet wasn't flushed so we wondered if it was cleaned at all. Didn't bring this issue to the front desk as we were only there to sleep for one night.

All the staff was so great! Always friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed getting our northern lights wake up call. Food and drinks were good. Can be a bit overwhelming when the tour busses come in, but we would stay again. Lots of dining, shopping and grocery stores. Conveniently located on the highway leading into the Golden Circle. Great no frills stay and for a small fee, a nice spa area.
