The bed was so comfortable and the pillows were just amazing to sleep on. They have a king pillow that's big enough to be a bolster and they were so comfy to hug. Besides the comfort of the room, the location is very good. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was very nice. The restaurant food was excellent.
We stayed here after the Northern Explorer train. The hotel is a 5” walk from train station. Room was spotless, mattress comfortable, linens crisp, pillows were a bit too big for our comfort. Mini bar in room with no posted prices. The staff was very helpful with walking directions to ferry in the morning.
Rude staff. Room and everything was fine but when I mentioned our Porta Cot wasnt in the room, they behaved like I had asked for their right kidney. Also spa was closed. Pool area needs to be adults only from 8pm or something. Not relaxing at all.
Motel and service was great.
Not very impressed with the glass window between the bedroom/lounge and bathroom. The toilet which is in the bathroom right beside the window. Those that are sitting in the bedroom/lounge can see you moving around in there. An very awkward feeling when you are sitting on the toilet.
They should paint them
