Super nice and comfortable stay at Hotel LAXA! Strongly recommended~
Pros:

Super nice and comfortable stay at Hotel LAXA! Strongly recommended~

Environment: Hotel LAXA sits just beside of the lake, the view is fantastic! Each window looks like a postcard! Inside of the hotel, it is very clean and clear, room is comfortable, especially the bathroom is very clean, spacious and well designed. Each room number has a beautiful picture sign besides, which is so sweet~

Transportation and Parking: it is just besides of the main road and easy to find the outstanding building, the parking lot is so big which is so convenient to park any sides of vehicles.

Food: the food is out of our expectations, either the fine dining at night or the breakfast, all fresh and delicious, which is very very memorable for the trip.

Service: the staffs in LAXA is so friendly, they always smiling and willing to help, the receptionist gentleman very patiently explained all the detail in the hotel and also gave us thoughtful advice for the next trip, how to encounter the aurora and how to make a safer drive in the snowing day, which is so sweet and heart-warming for us!
