I would give it 5 stars but the beds are pretty hard and the shower is tiny. Despite that, we had an amazing stay! We saw the northern lights so perfectly from here. The staff are very kind and helpful.

  • Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
  • You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
  • Put any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
  • If you're planning to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
