Hotel was about a 2 block walk from downtown. Plenty of on site parking. Room was a decent size and clean. Came with bed sheets and towels. There's a mini fridge and small coffee station. The only "issue" I had was that check in was at 3pm. We had arrived at 1pm. They do have a luggage area so you can walk around without your bags until checkin

Such a wonderful stay at this hotel. Is was a little nervous initially to book but I'm so glad we stayed here. It's a small hotel and a little bit further out than others but it's a completely short walkable distance to the town center and bus stop to the Santa village. There's plenty of food for breakfast and the choice to pay extra for evening meals. Staff are so wonderful and the hotel and area was so quiet when we stayed in March which we loved. Although the hotel was pretty full with guests it's probably the quietest we have stayed and it was delightful. The hotel itself is a little older but I would definitely stay here again if we were ever back in the area, such great value.

The staff were kind and efficient. The hotel itself was okay. The room was clean and the parking was convenient. It didn't seem to be very walkable but the weather also could have played a part in this. If I returned to the area, I would probably stay again.

Clean & Comfortable - Good Location & Breakfast
Great Location 4- 5 minutes walk to shops, restaurants and town square. Clean Comfortable rooms and bathroom , Older style but efficient with all amenities. Good Breakfast but be sure to go early because when they run out they do not refill. Disappointed child at 9.30 to find no bacon available. Reception Ladies were friendly and willing to offer assistance from finding Ice rink, restaurants or booking Taxi's.

A good place to stay
Not a bad place to stay. Room was nice, quiet (except some random low frequency intermittent noise), but it didn't last into the night. Close and convenient to downtown. A short walk, but not bad. Staff was friendly and breakfast wasn't bad.

Average Hotel with Minimal Facilities
We went during Christmas season and understandably the price was on the high side. But this is really just a 3 star hotel with minimal facilities. Not even a pair of bathroom slippers was provided and the the toilet was rather cramped. The reception was helpful and nice though.
