Travelling with my 85 yr old mother & would have appreciated more help or kindness. Do better.
Pros:

Central location but very tired.

Cons:

Seems like it has been ignored for sometime. Central location, close to everything, but not much tourist support. Staff don’t seem invested. Even watering the sad plants in the lobby, no one cared to wipe the table where they spilled water all over it. Most were more concerned with socializing than waiting on anyone. Loud rap music with swearing blared in the lobby was an odd choice & somewhat disturbing. Art is incredibly dated and paints a horrible picture, particularly of local culture, or is simply absent. The only chairs in the lobby were ripped & in disrepair. There were options of rooms that could create a lounge/social space left empty. The housekeeping seems to have no organization-most days our room was still not dealt with as last as 4 or 5pm- and the room had been left open- door ajar- with all of our things available to any passerby! Pretty sure no one cared- when we told the desk they kind of shrugged their shoulders. Considering the price- we were pretty horrified. Restaurant was good but prices were high-the service there was the best we received.

とても快適でした。
Pros:

深夜もフロントにはスタッフが常駐しておりオーロラ観賞からの帰りでドアを開けて欲しい時も、早朝のチェックアウトもスムーズでした。お部屋は気温にもよりますが、暖房をつけなくても十分暖かいですし、電子レンジもあり不便は無かったです。3階にレストランがあり朝食で利用しましたが空いていてすぐに利用できましたし、オムレツは野菜も入っていて美味しかったです。

Gets the job done.
Pros:

Stayed here in March in the main building. The location is really good. Just a 10 min walk from the main downtown area, 15 min walk from the Dettah Ice Road. My room was big and at a good temperature. Bed was soft. Clean where it needs to be clean. Nothing made me disgusted. I liked the restaurant inside: Wing Freak. It was a quiet and warm place to just eat at your own place.

Cons:

Some wear and tear. Wi-fi was sometimes spotty. There was only one outlet near the bed and it was somewhat awkward to get to because the bedside table was in the way. It would've been nice to have a luggage rack to lay your luggage on. The shower was just a shower head, no handheld wand. My key card had some issues.

Amazing. Would recommend this hotel and would stay here again, no worries.
Pros:

To start with the shuttle service from the airport was a great touch from Nova, speed at other Nova hotels also. The room we had was a King room, Lot of space, the bed was amazing, slept like a log, the shower was amazing, good pressure. Temperature was set actually within. Was a great location and we basically walked everywhere, uptown, old town, supermarket close by, eateries.

Cons:

The only negative was the exterior of the building as you enter needs some repair but must cope a hammering during those -30 to -40 degree days. Some staff were not that friendly. The young lady we had a check-in was very nice and the security guard that processed ùs at check-out was also very helpful.
