Excellent breakfast with many fresh items. The kitchen has all the utensils for a quick meal. Some salt, pepper, and cooking oil would make it even more convenient. The room and bathroom were clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

The hotel is located about 10-15 min drive to downtown.
It is a well stock self service hotel.
The breakfast was good. Had options of making waffles, sandwiches, some fresh fruit, yogurt, oatmeal and eggs.
It also had a microwave available for everyone to use at the lobby!
Extra points because it is walking distance from grocery stores.
Overall a pretty good stay, the only thing to keep on mind is that the underground parking is limited and it has some accessibility issues. There are a couple doors and hallways to go by before reaching the hotel or your room.

The check in process was a little bit strange and there was confusion with the parking garage, but when we figured it out, it was easy after that. The door was very difficult to open, even with our code. The breakfast spread was great, but we were missing hot options. I think the only hot option for food was waffles. Overall, we had a great day, but some good scrambled eggs or sausage or something else would've pushed it over the top and gotten a 5.

We stayed here for a week with our children, ages 7 and 9, while visiting Iceland. We had a great experience here! The breakfast bar is absolutely delicious. We really liked the room and the convenience of the area. Although the underground parking is limited, we always found a spot and never had to park on the street. There is no front desk, but we had zero issues with our code to the building and room. There is also soup, lamb and vegetarian, available in the evening with adult beverages for purchase. You have to request housekeeping; we didn’t use it our whole week stay and were fine. We would definitely stay here again.

First time I stayed at a no-reception hotel. I liked that my room was close to the elevator and right next to the common fridge/cooler.
The blonde younger girl at the restaurant who was by herself during breakfast rudely yelled at me “NO!” when I approached the breakfast area thinking it wasn’t 7 AM yet (it was 7:02 on my watch). When she realized she was wrong she laughed to herself but didn’t apologize. Appreciate the no-fee hotel parking.

You must arrive before check-in time to assure a parking spot underground. Not much in the area for amenities. Mostly suburban and light industrial. Inside was quite lovely. Two soups ate available at 5:30 pm though the mushroom soup tasted fabulous but incredibly rich and salty for sensitive tummies.
