Fodor's Expert Review Clarion Collection Hotel Grand

Overlooking the harbor, this centrally located hotel is looking spiffy after a complete renovation. It's among Bodø's best lodgings: the friendly, helpful staff and all-day free waffles get your visit off to a great start. Although rooms can be on the small side, some make up for it with views of the water. A copious buffet dinner and breakfast are included in the price, so you won't have to go far for a satisfying meal. If you do venture out, there's plenty of shopping and restaurants within walking distance.
