The breakfast was one of the best hotel buffets we have ever encountered - lots of variety with everything fresh and delicious. There was an odd discrepancy in the dates of our booking, but fortunately I had printed out the original confirmation e-mail, so it was eventually straightened out. The room was very nice. We basically liked everything about this hotel.

Considering the town was -13°F, the room was nice and cozy. The breakfast was outstanding.

The hotel overall is a bit dated and that was fine. When we checked in, there were 2 rooms that are not ready yet. We appreciate the reception staff expediting the rooms for us. However, for one of the room, it was not throughly cleaned as there were bits of paper on the floor. There were no towels provided for another room, which we have to request from reception. Other than the small issues mentioned, the stay was pleasant.
