Great hotel on the Ring Road

Great stay at this popular hotel. We used their Northern Lights wake-up call service which was very helpful. We saw the lights without having to stay up for hours waiting. Breakfast was amazing!

Wow! What an amazing stay from start to finish. We got the #VIPACCESSEG so a free upgrade to an ocean view room where we saw the northern lights perfectly from the window while INSIDE our room! It was epic! The staff were all kind, on top of it and informative. They went the extra step for us. The hot tub and sauna with relaxation area was a huge plus for us to relax after long days hiking or exploring. The lobby is actually one you want to hang out in and there are tons of spots to hang out or relax. Just absolutely wonderful! Beds were great too!

Just ok.

Hotel was nice, but definitely some downfalls. Dinner at the restaurant was amazing, but the snack menu at the bar - food was awful. In general the food and drinks were extremely overpriced. The negatives: tiny beds (hard for 2 people to sleep comfortably), and the service (except the restaurant). NO automatic room cleanings unless you request it by 10am. Really? Called down for extra coffee pods since our room hadn’t been cleaned and they told me to go down to reception to get it. Not acceptable hotel service.

They cast themselves as a luxury property, but they are very self service and tack on extra charges for everything. There was no help with luggage. They did not clean our room (they claimed this is because they are "eco-friendly," but they could still have made the beds and taken out the trash they give you dozens of little plastic bottles of shampoo etc which are anything but eco-friendly). They did not even provide a free cup of coffee in the morning. It was fine, but significantly overpriced for the level of service we got.
