I can't say enough about how much I liked my stay at this hotel. The room I had wasn't the standard double bed room, but it turned out even better with a full-size fridge, microwave, and plenty of space. It was perfect for me after long days of tours and sightseeing. The service was exceptional with the staff going above and beyond, like taking us to a tire repair shop with his truck. The location was ideal, allowing me to easily walk to Pioneer Park, downtown, and shopping centers. The dining experience felt more like a cozy bed and breakfast without breakfast but had extraordinary food. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.

My stay at the Borealis Inn was just what I needed - a clean and safe accommodation after long days of exploring the city. The free Wi-Fi was a plus, but it was a bit small. The staff was exceptionally gracious and helpful, even though they were still waiting for us upon arrival. The location was perfect for attending my son's football game and exploring the downtown area, but I missed having a microwave/sink area in the room. The dining experience felt more like a bed and breakfast without the breakfast, however, the risotto was delicious.

The hotel provides a perfect blend of convenience and comfort. The shared kitchen outside the room was a great feature for me, offering a clean and safe environment after a long day of exploring. However, the issue of road noise, which the management seems aware of but advertises free Wi-Fi, can be a drawback.

My stay at the Borealis Inn was overall pleasant. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, but the rest quality was below par. While there were amenities like a full-size fridge and microwave, I was disappointed that the free Wi-Fi advertised wasn't reliable. The service was friendly but lacked experience in running the establishment. The location was perfect for attending my son's football game and exploring the downtown area, but the dining experience felt more like a bed and breakfast without the breakfast.
