"Had a great stay wonderful heat in the fall months in your rooms great almost instant hot water, the staff was amazing and very helpful with suggestions for our three week stay and the northern lights are easily visible late night through early morning at the hotel rear fenced area and it’s about 12minutes from many dark sky location for viewing many of the tourist attractions were closed at the time we stayed but we never ran out of places to go and things to do within a days drive for three weeks will definitely be going back. Complimentary breakfast was good but we had a room with a kitchen and choose to do most of our own cooking. Parking was easy in October. Met many tenants with pets it is a pet friendly hotel although we do not travel with any."
