Classic Comfort at the Granlibakken
We never stay anywhere else. Yes it's pricey,but oh so wonderful. Even with construction going on, it's peaceful and comfortable.
When the pool is quiet, take a heavenly swim.
Breakfast is fantastic!!

I stayed here for three nights for a business trip. Breakfast and dinner places in house were decent. Had issues with heating on first night but staff was very receptive and changed my room right away.

The hotel located great, it has nice property.
BUT, room that we got was outdated, bathroom was from 1970s, while our neighbors had renovated room (lodge rooms both) and you advertise different conditions of the room.
Also, the walls and ceiling are so thin so you can hear someone moving a chair or talk.

We liked the breakfast buffet and dinner at the on site restaurant. Our kids enjoyed playing in the snow on site, sledding, and enjoying the large outdoor hot tub. Our room could have been bigger and more updated. At a minimum, the room needed black out shades as it faced the parking lot where a light was on all night, plus the headlights of cars leaving and parking disturbed our sleep as well.

Front desk clerk was terrible. Arrived at hotel he told me to wait for 20 min before he can check me in.
Then told me I couldn’t get the room that I paid for.
The whole time he was on FaceTime with someone. Never had such bad customer service at a hotel.
The morning staff were professional and easy to work with.
