Clean, friendly, pretty location. I was a little unprepared for the concept - we used 3 shower/rest rooms shared between 5-6 guest rooms but it worked out OK. Bedroom was small. Free coffee in common area and breakfast available for purchase.

We did not eat breakfast there but they had a nice area to eat and to relax, separate from our room, offering coffee, tea and hot chocolate at no cost. Staff was most helpful. There was plenty of parking available. We just had to enter the name of the hotel and our Apple map led us there very easily. Getting to Westman Islands was easy from there, as was the Golden Circle.
