Close to Rail Depot and convenient.

Amazing stay, a little low rating on comfort because it was record heat . A fan would been nice, but that is nitpicking when staying in at a older hotel. Love place and the staff was 10/10 stars.

Perfect location, needs new carpet!

This historic hotel is rundown but for skiers, the location by the bus station, grocery store and ski shop makes for easy travel. Breakfast is good and beds are super comfortable but the carpeting is about 10 years overdue to be replaced!

Dated (a bit tired), but clean and comfortable.

I have stayed here before. It’s really close and convenient for the station. It’s nice not to be in a big chain. The hotel is rather dated and tired, but the beds are comfortable, and it’s really clean. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is good. As I said, I’ve stated before and would definitely stay again.

It’s located in a centralized location near the pedestrian street with many shops and restaurants. Free parking is provided. The room is the tiniest we’ve encountered on our more than 2 week visit in Norway, therefore, difficult in which to maneuver. It was also very warm with the sun shining brightly inside it. The beds were comfortable. Breakfast was very good with a variety of choices. I would stay here again.
