Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and well-equipped with additional appliances like a small refrigerator and a microwave, exceeding the usual amenities of a 3-star hotel. The service was top-notch, with friendly and knowledgeable staff always ready to assist, making our check-in smooth and quick. The location was convenient, close to family in the area and offering a nice view of the nearby trees. While the dining options were limited and lacked protein choices, the overall experience was good.
My stay at the hotel was overall great. The rooms were nicely decorated and spacious, but lacked some essential amenities like a fridge and microwave that most hotels offer nowadays. The service was top-notch with helpful and friendly staff. The location was convenient for my visit, with easy access to supermarkets and restaurants. However, the dining options were not up to par for the price point, and the facilities were just average.
Staying at Santa's residence for $270 was my only option at 1 am, and while the room could use some updates, it offered additional appliances like a small refrigerator and microwave, akin to what you'd find in a standard 3-star hotel room. The Santa Suite was a unique experience.
Santa's Residence offered a room that was spacious, with additional appliances like a small refrigerator and microwave, exceeding the average size of a double room. The room came stocked with beverages, snack food, and microwave eats, providing good value for $270, despite limitations in amenities compared to other hotels. The location was superb, located just off the highway, very close to various convenient facilities.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were equipped with additional appliances like a small refrigerator and a microwave, which were convenient. The location was great, close to a grocery store and fast food restaurants, perfect for sending postcards and enjoying the northern lights. However, the breakfast options were limited, and the dining experience could have been better.
My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were nicely decorated but lacked some standard amenities like a fridge or coffee maker that I'm used to having in most places. The warm and Christmasy lobby didn't quite translate to the room decor, but the extra appliances provided like a small fridge and a microwave were appreciated, even though they are more commonly found in 3-star hotels. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond, even fetching a heater from home to help unfreeze some lines. The location worked well for me, being close to supermarkets and restaurants, and just a stone's throw away from my job site. Unfortunately, the dining options were a bit lacking in terms of protein, but the free cookies were a nice touch. Overall, a comfortable stay, with some room for improvement.
