dirty carpets inflexible service
I encountered a few issues. The cleanliness in the common areas was SUBSTANDARD. I noticed some stains on the carpets and dusty surfaces. the breakfast service ended strictly at 10:00 AM. Staff did NOT replenish items, such as bread, after that time, which I found inflexible (I like to take my time in the morning).

Fantastic Stay in the Heart of Everything
helpful staff bunk beds great view varied breakfast
Breakfast had many choices for everyone, young and old. The staff was very helpful. Laura, the receptionist, assisted with every request we had. The family room contained bunk beds. They were a hit with the kids. I had a great view, I even saw the northern lights from the hotel window.
The room did not have a phone, so calling the reception was impossible from there.

decent hotel in a good location
excellent breakfast scenic view friendly staff single key heavy door negligent housekeeping
I enjoyed the excellent breakfast. there were scenic view seating arrangements (i always appreciate a good view). the staff were friendly and helpful. i found the location very scenic. It's right by the river.
only one key was provided. if this key is used to start the electrical connection in the room, you might be locked out. this could happen when bringing baggage into the room with the heavy, self-closing doors. housekeeping sometimes missed clearing tea or coffee sachets and used cups.
