The hotel offers beautiful views of the coast, hot tubs for relaxation, but the 'ocean view' rooms may not be worth the extra cost. The service is accommodating but may have limitations, and the location is peaceful with natural surroundings, though dining options are only available at the restaurant.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had an amazing view of the mountain, but the TV and phone weren't working despite adjusting the heating. The service was a bit of a letdown as they didn't accommodate my request for a reduction or re-booking. The location was peacefully set back from the road with a nearby waterfall, but the uncomfortable seating in the bar area was a downside.

The hotel offers a variety of room options, from standard rooms to those with ocean views. While the view on the sea was enjoyable, the extravagant cost for an ocean view room may not be worth it. The rooms with big windows to observe the northern lights are a unique feature, and kids will love the added touch of toys in certain rooms.
