Family vacation traveling with 2 adult children. Excellent location. The only negnative issue was the bathroom sink and shower water had a strong sulfur oder. This was the only time we experienced this. Right on the lake.
Charles, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The hotel website neglects to tell you that they are located right next to a cow farm. The smell is putrid when your hotel room windows are open because there is no a/c in the hotel. The staff says the whole town smells which it does. The spa is excellent, the view of the lake is obstructed by the trees.

Great location for travelling around the ring road. Nice quiet room overlooking the lake. Breakfast was good too. We did get a sulphur type smell in the shower room but it wasn't bad enough to complain about.

10/10 Exceptional

Best thing about this hotel is the aurora calling service, was able to view the aurora while our stay, love the view since it’s a lake at the back of the hotel and make it easier to take aurora photos there. Towels not so clean and housekeeping did not check the shower gel bottles as it was empty when we checked in. Staffs are helpful to give us extra bottle of shower gel to use, overall still recommend for this hotel.
