    The rooms are spacious and the hotel plot is big. Its decor has some style, with some vintages clothes and items on display in the hall. Some sheeps grazed on the grassland outside my room window and it's fun to see them there. Breakfast was good.

    Spacious comfortable room. Good hotel. Relatively close for glacier excursions near diamond beach. Easily accessible. Enough parking. Helpful and friendly staff. It’s a big complex with a lot of rooms, but we liked the (family friendly) vibe around the complex and in the halls to the rooms.

    A lovey family hotel in a remote, picturesque location right on the ring road. The family room was a great size, lots of room for luggage and space for children to play. The shower was a little outdated, however this didn't bother us. Staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant severed a variety of delicious meals and including a children's menu. The highlight was the breakfast spread, with an array of home made baked goods and preserves, hot options, cold meats and cheeses, cereals and fruit.
