Good option for Yellowknife
Pros:

Great location, the staff is very helpful and attentive, we request a change in room and it went smoothly. All tour operators know this hotel so it's super easy to arrange for tours and taxi pick ups from this location. It's also walking distance (15-20 min) from YK's "old town" and from grocery shopping.

Cons:

The hotel is a little bit old and it shows, the mini fridge was a little too noisy at nights, and the bathtub and sink were slow to drain water (sign of water blockage in the pipes). I found the bed very comfortable, but for my partner, who suffers from back pain issues, the super soft mattresses of this hotel were a torture. This last point could be an issue just for some people though, not for your average guest.

There is no more complimentary hydration lotion in the bathrooms.
The restaurant could stay open a bit longer.

My day was extremely awful. Staff was unprofessional when I called down to talk to them about the charges. They just kep
Pros:

The bed was comfortable. And that’s about it.

Cons:

The staff there was extremely rude. I booked it two nights stay through Booking.com at that time. My card was charged $544.13. I messaged them and told them I was unable to make it for the first night of my reservation so on that reservation I only stayed one night member was charged $544.13. Then I needed to stay for one additional night so I booked through Booking.com once again and the hotel charged me $513.89 for one night stay then I was charged an additional $777.78 for no apparent reason at all. I requested a late checkout, but I can’t see that costing me $1700 and then some. Send over in hotel is nothing but a bunch of crooks. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone put my cash in their pocket.

Pros:

It was so close to everything. The room is quite big, possibly should have a couch. Would definitely stay again. I got this as a recommendation from family.

Cons:

Its definitely dated, and quite worn carpet. Somehow, all hotels source their mini fridges from the same noisiest product range. Would be better if the fridge plug was accessible so you could turn it off. The temp was set to semi tropical....with no thermostat control. (Probs just my room).

The staff are wonderful.
Pros:

Fatima 、Jagjeet These two were so kind and really went out of their way to help us. Thank you so much! Thanks to them, we were able to see the aurora.

Cons:

The room we were shown at first had a bad smell. However, once we mentioned it, they responded immediately and arranged a different room, so we’re satisfied.
