In hindsight, we should probably have gone somewhere else and asked for our money back. Worst hotel experience. No phot
Pros:

Very little. At minimum the sheets and towels were clean. Beyond that, not much to like. The carpet was filthy - filth like what you might imagine in a single room occupancy hotel on the East side of Vancouver.

Cons:

Torn furniture in the lobby. An elevator that had not been vacuumed in months, no sound proofing between rooms, and a clientele hanging out front that was not welcoming. And, filthy carpets the hotel room!!

Awful in all respects
Pros:

Nothing at all as it is a total disgrace

Cons:

A very dirty hotel with worn carpets, torn furniture, poorly maintained rooms. Poorly trained staff and the audacity to charge CD$250 per room for damage when they clearly had existing damage which was not listed by the hotel itself. The Nova Hotel should be basically shut down until it is fully renovated and up to standard. The website is simply very misleading with its images.

Not a place you want to stay
Pros:

Central location and walking distance to the brewery

Cons:

Unclean and very tired building. The tub was not clean and the one window was cracked and repaired with tape. Paper thin walls and could hear people above as well as beside us.
Very disappointing stay overall and would not recommend. Hotel needs a major upgrade.

Good choice in Yellowknife
Pros:

Very Nice hotel in Yellowknife.
Rooms are comfortable, clean . Bathroom is well organized. The air conditionning is a Little bit noisy. Cleaning is done on a daily basis.
Staff is very helpfull and very kind.
You can do laundry in the hotel from 9am to 7PM for a very good Price .
Sometimes the car park can’t accomodate all the cars staying so you have to Park in the street.
