ODDSSON Midtown Hotel
The hotel's self-checkin is smooth and the room is spacious with comfortable beds. The only downfall is the location which is far from downtown. Would recommend staying here, but keep in mind the price of taxis are very high here. Good value for money.

Arctic Comfort Hotel
Very easy to do the self check-in. I just wish there was an elevator but it wasn't too bad bringing my bag up the stairs. Very nice room.
