Arctic City Hotel
Very clean room, great location, close to Santa Claus's city office. Room size on the smaller side, it was a little cramp for 3 of us. But otherwise, everything was good

Santa's Holiday Homes
Very easy check in/out process. Property was clean and comfortable. All necessary amenities were provided. This property was slightly less expensive than hotels in the area, while also being an overall slightly better product in my opinion.
