Ended up staying here twice on our trip since we were passing that way again and needed a place to stay. This isn't the most amazing hotel you'll ever stay in, but it's solid. Comfortable beds, nice staff, decent food, and not a bad price. Sure the interiors are a bit dated, but it's not bad by any stretch. It's a solid option for a place to stay in the area!

Lovely quiet place to stay. We wre there for 4 nights, and were upgraded to a cabin, which was nice. The sauna wasn't working, but laying in the hot spa out in the middle of the golf course in the dark of night, looking up at the northern lights, was most enjoyable.
