Cómodo pero muy mal
Pros:

La chica muy maja y la ubicación en plena carretera

Cons:

El agua tanto de la ducha como del grifo apestaba a azufre muy fuerte, no entrábamos por el pasillo de al lado de la cama de lo estrecho que era, el baño era literalmente de 1 metro cuadrado, podías estar meando mientras te duchabas y el restaurante muy caro

A place to sleep after a long days driving.
Pros:

There was a lovely seating area dedicated to a much loved Grandmother.

Cons:

No breakfast available although there was a restaurant on site. Room was too small for 2 people with luggage. The receptionist was not pleased that we only arrived a short time before closing.

A good place to stay for a night when on a roadtrip, or more as there are things to do in the area!
Pros:

Located in the "middle of nowhere", it is a haven for the people who travel from Reykjavik to Akureiri. We were on a road trip on a snowy and freezing day, and we were so happy, arriving at night, to find light, warmth and a very friendly welcome from the staff. The restaurant waited for us to arrive and even if it was quite late, prepared a good and warm dinner.
We could have a very relaxing night here and were ready to continue our drive after a good night's sleep.
