I found this hotel to be generally clean and comfy, but it was let down by a questionable breakfast and the room being small for two adults and one child. The location is good for visiting Santa's village by foot and being close to attractions like the Husky Park and Santa Village.

This hotel is a must-visit for its extraordinary rooms that are incredibly pretty and worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime. The cleanliness and comfort level were exceptional, making for a delightful stay. However, while the rooms were comfortable and clean, some improvements in services could enhance the overall guest experience.

The room I stayed in was very pretty, and the experience was truly worth it. It was exceptionally clean and comfortable, providing a cozy retreat during my stay.

Service

7.0

The service could be better as there were some minor issues like no final time for breakfast selections and staff still under training. However, they were helpful upon our arrival, allowing for an early check-in, and even took us back to the Igloo for some wonderful photo opportunities.

Location

The location of the hotel is truly exceptional, just a few minutes' walk to Husky Park and Santa Village, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the local attractions. The proximity to these attractions added a significant value to my trip.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience was somewhat underwhelming as the food packaging the night before and the simplicity of the meals did not meet the expectations set by the hotel's price point. More variety and quality could enhance the dining experience.

Facilities

The hotel offers a variety of facilities such as room service, housekeeping, welcome drink, pet amenities, and tours/ticket assistance, which added convenience to the stay. However, some areas like the dining options could be improved to offer a more fulfilling experience.

The hotel offered a cozy room under the open sky with a good temperature control system; however, it lacked safes. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, with a basic setup, and the bathroom stood out as the highlight, albeit at a standard lower than expected.

Rooms

The room was very clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was the highlight, but overall felt basic.

Service

9.0

The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and kind. They even arranged a complimentary transfer to the Santa Claus Holiday Village, which was unexpectedly useful.

Location

9.0

The location was perfect, especially if the main purpose was to visit Santa. The igloo was warm and amazing, despite the snowy weather outside, and it was convenient for accessing attractions like Husky Park and Santa Village.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was quite nice, but it did not entirely justify the high price charged per night. The food was delicious but fell short of expectations for an expensive hotel.

Facilities

8.0

Grateful for the practical gifts like the Santa Claus photo exchange gift roll, even though some facilities like safes were lacking.
