The first thing that bothered me about this hotel was the story behind the name. They used the Eskimo word for ten-legged-polar bear and ruined the culture behind it by making up some bogus story about a vegetarian peace loving polar bear who writes news papers, which I can assure you is NOT in anyway a native story.

The rooms were very nice, especially the ones with private bathrooms!

The food downstairs in the Turkish cafe is amazing -- it seems to be authentic, as... more
