Northern Lights Mansion
My stay at Northern Lights Mansion was a mixed experience. The furniture looked like it came from a yard sale—mismatched and not cohesive in style. Extension cords and TV cables were loosely run and exposed throughout the room, which felt unsafe and unprofessional. The bathroom door wouldn’t stay shut, requiring constant adjustment during use. Unfortunately, the jetted tub I was looking forward to was out of service, which was disappointing. Breakfast was an additional charge, and while the food quality was decent, the extra cost made it feel less value for money. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and helpful, making the stay more pleasant on a personal level. Overall, the hotel has potential, but improvements in room upkeep, safety, and guest amenities would go a long way in boosting the experience.
