The bar was LOVELY.

The shower was small. Water splashed all over the bathroom. There was also no space to hang hand towels. I think providing body lotion and facial tissues would make a big difference.

The staff provided helpful advice. They notified guests when the Northern Lights was, also letting us onto the patio to see them. Dinner in the restaurant tasted delicious. The atmosphere and decor were also great.

My room did not meet the standard. The spa area's pool seemed dirty. I saw many hairs and fuzz. The sauna did not deserve the name, either.
