This was out first time in the area, the place was comfortable and it was in walking distance to a nearby restaurant. The room was well decorated and roomy, we will keep it in mind the next time we are traveling though the area,

Clean, friendly service. They offered snacks and water. It was a perfect place to stay for a fall color tour.
We actually were able to see the northern lights from right the hotels back yard

Definitely would stay again. Liked everything about the room but the bed. The mattress was a bit hard for me and I didn’t sleep well but still wouldn’t stop us from staying there again.
