“Just ok!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

Stayed for one night early January. Hotel looks outdated from the outside and that impression continues on the inside. By my standards a total renovation is long over due. Room was small and dark. Fluorescent faded lights by the window enhances the outdated feeling. Worn out squeaky bed. The bathroom on the other hand is recently renovated, light and nice, though a bit small. A big plus for the bathtub. Dark and outdated colors on walls and carpets seem to go on throughout the hotel. Well assorted breakfast served in a rather large, dusty, closed in breakfast hall. Staff was welcoming and service minded.

“Great Location - I would stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I enjoyed staying at this hotel. I had a real nice view of harbor.
Close to walking street and ferry terminal. Nice breeze from ocean.
Good breakfast in the morning.
I find Norway to be very expensive - my hotel laundry bill at this hotel was $ 161 after sending off one time with very few items
I like this hotel better than the Scandic I've stay at in town

Room Tip: ask for harbor view

“Overpriced”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

Stayed 3 nights in August 2011, on a business trip
Booked superior double but although the room was reasonable in size, the furniture was old, and shabby, and somewhat tired however the room was cleaned daily
we asked for a room with a sea view and was given room on a higher floor as requested but it overlooked the cargo depot which was unsighlty.
overpriced room, for what you get
Would not stay there again,
