Highland Lodge Hotel

Nice stay - has easy to use self check in service which we found to be quite efficient. Full service restaurant and bar (pizzeria, but a few other dishes) and bakery on first floor. Outdoor patio open. We had a fine room with a balcony that was nice but basically overlooked the parking lot outside. With some angling of the neck could see the river and the mountain but nothing special beyond some fresh air. Good value.

I would not say that this is a hotel. The staff (and most people) seemed friendly and spoke English well enough to be understood. (I speak no Norwegian, so no worries there) It seemed more like a complex of self-catering suits. I asked for a ski locker and was told those were for the owners, just put skis anywhere in the ski room. There was no room service at all. Was told to leave rubbish outside the room. And it would be cleared. At the end of the day , I threw it away in an outside bin.

The only thing good about this was the location. BAD and seriously unprofessional staff, BAD breakfast opportunity, NO room service, COLD sauna and spa, NO new towels..... A hotel for beginners. I think they can change the name to LOWLAND. Never going back and will never refer anyone.
