"All the hotel staff were kind and friendly.
I had some questions about the amenities in the hotel room, so I went to the front desk a few times to ask, and everyone explained everything to me very politely.
When I told them I didn't know how to turn on the hot water in the bathtub, a maintenance technician came up to my room to show me how, and since part of the bathroom fixture was broken, he fixed it right then and there.
The room had a kitchen (with a microwave, fridge-freezer, stovetop, oven, coffee maker, dishes, knives, forks, etc.) and a walk-in closet where I could hang and dry my laundry. Since I was traveling alone, I didn't cook, but the fridge-freezer and microwave were very useful. There's also a coin-operated laundry room. You need to purchase tokens at the front desk.
From the hotel, I could easily get to supermarkets like Walmart, Costco, and Fred Meyer, as well as some fast-food restaurants like McDonald's. If you have a car, it's just a few minutes' drive from the hotel. Since I don't have a driver's license, I walked to these places every day from 30 to 40 minute walk. It wasn't a hardship since it wasn't hot in October. I was able to lead a healthy lifestyle.
I've heard that, depending on the weather, you can see the aurora at Creamer's Field, located on the west side of the hotel. When I went to see it, there were a lot of clouds and I could hardly see anything, but I did manage to catch a glimpse of a single streak of the aurora."
