Lousy hotel, never recommend for anyone to stay.
Pros:

Nothing worth liking when there is financial. mishandling, We had booked for two days. The hotel charged for one day in advance and for the second day, plus a deposit of CAD 250 at the time of check-in. The amount charged at the time of check-in (one day's charge and CAD 250) was returned and my card was charged for the total booking of two days. This is reflected on my credit card statement that I have shared with the hotel. So, they have charged me for three days. However, they are refusing to return the one-day extra charge. This amounts to negligence / fraud. I will not recommend anyone to book with this hotel. Totally disappointing. The property being pet friendly, rooms smell of pets. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful but that does not help much,

Cons:

Very poor room maintenance. The carpet was smelling. The furniture had scratches, paint peeling off the wall. Pet smell all over. On top of that having been charged extra for one day is simply not acceptable.

Pros:

Rooms are good except for cracked floor tile as you get out of the shower. Staff was excellent. Beds are getting old and tired and a 30” TV is a little small to view

Decent enough for one night stay and hot shower.
Pros:

Location is on main road, relatively walkable to city center. A bit of a walk to old town but ok for people who are fit. Not sure about breakfast. Check in experience was good. The staff who helped me was really kind and courteous. The room we got was further away from the elevator, so foot traffic was minimal. Otherwise I could imagine people hearing footsteps at night, as the floor is pretty loud when people walk by.

Cons:

The elevator smelled of dog stench and the carpet in the corridors was really old and stained. Carpet in the room was old and stained as well but didn't smell. Bathroom was reasonably clean.

Right place, righr ambience.
Pros:

A great place to stay in Yellowknife with all amenities in place. Additionally there is a an house restaurant, gym, sauna. The reception staff were exceptional in meeting customer needs. Fatima and Gemma deserve special mention for making us feel welcome. There are a few points that need mention in respect of the room, badly run down with scratches on the furniture and walls. The carpet definitely needs shampooing as the odour was obnoxious. We were told this was because the hotel is a pet friendly place. In which case, pet friendly rooms should be defined separately and allotted accordingly. Otherwise our two night stay was comfortable.
