Location is good for visiting the glacier lagoon, ice caves and diamond beach. Room was clean and beds were comfy. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub. Make sure to make a reservation at the hotel restaurant. Food is good but most importantly there are no other places to eat close by the hotel.

We booked a basic ground room with no view but room was nice and clean with a modern style bathroom and shower. Breakfast buffet had a great selection of food and drinks. We enjoyed using the hot tub the multiple nights we were there and one of the nights we were lucky to see the northern lights as well. Only negative thing I could say about the hotel is the price, otherwise a great stay.

The breakfast wasn’t free. It was good but could have had more options. The hot tub was nice but wish the wall wasn’t there. Enjoyed the Northern Lights wake up call. Restaurant for dinner was good.

We stayed here so that we could easily visit Diamond Beach and hike the nearby glacier. While in a remote location, this hotel is excellent. The breakfast is brilliant, and the availability to have a takeaway lunch from th breakfast buffet is a real lifesaver. The restaurant food is brilliant too, and the small shop area in the lobby is great if you need to pick something up. All the staff are lovely! Can't fault this hotel!
