Great business stay
Pros:

Staying for business in the Barrow area. Great room with plenty of room and a desk to work at, also a couple of nice chairs to relax in. The food I ordered was good quality and the portion size was generous. The staff were all great.

Small but well appointed room
Pros:

I got the last room which was the smallest and small it was indeed. That said the room was spotlessly clean and had everything in it that I needed. Breakfast was cooked to order and had plenty of choices. Stunning views across the bay providing the weather is good. I would stay again if in the area.
