I was traveling with my 2 kg Chihuahua. The room did have a very nice view, which almost made up for the parking lot shortage and minimalistic room. Almost.

When Arriving this hotel by car, it's like the ocean opens in front of you! Choose apartments (-and bring your pet!) or hotel room. The breakfast buffet is great during high season, but in low seasons (wintertime) its just a small, ordinary Norwegian breakfast serving. Additionally, the localization by the sea makes it a windy place during winter season. We had a rather cold experience in the winter and had to seat close to the fireplace in the entrance area rather than the bar to keep warm. I live to stay here during summertime, but never again during winter!

It seems like a lot of business travelers may stay here, but we were so happy we found this place. Staff is friendly. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. The lobby is beautiful. Looks like a nice place to grab a drink. It connects to a large fitness center. Some rooms and the lobby face the water-- great views. Would highly recommend!

As for service wise, was disappointed with their bar service - never order cocktails here. Wish the staff would pay more attention in clearing the customers queueing up infront of her than constant chatting with another ex-staff. She even shooed away another staff who offered to help her, i'd prefer having someone else serving me when she is chatting and surfing the web on the recipe to make me the classic old whiskey which taste like crap.

I don't understand how this place has higher reviews. We found it very dirty, the rooms…read moreexceptionally small, he hotel oddly pieced together. I'd give the staff five stars. They were very kind and helpful. But the hotel is nothing special. There are two areas that are beautiful-- the original part of the building. This would be the dining area and a ballroom. Other than that, it's a strange modern design. Location is excellent. Breakfast was excellent. But our room was tiny. So tiny that we could barely open our suitcase on the floor. We stayed at a different hotel a few days later, and we would return to that one if we're ever back in town. Generally, this hotel wasn't a relaxing place to stay. Again, the staff is very kind!
