Reviews
Arendel is a delightful small town and the hotel is walking distance to downtown. Lovely accommodations
The hotel itself is ok- the name is a bit misleading, as there is nothing “grand” about this hotel. We got a room on the backside of the hotel with just a tiny window. If you stay here, insist on the front. The housekeeping was in our room, but didn’t do the bed.
