Best sleep i have ever had in a hotel. Bed was the most comfortable, and my room was the quietest i have ever had. More than equal to any Hilton anywhere

Nice hotel in Yellowknife with easy access to key points of interest. Traders Grill restaurant serves good food especially the Sunday Brunch!

The hotel, by Toronto standards, would be just average, but for Yellowknife it's one of the best hotels around. Super friendly staff. Room was clean and bed comfortable.conveniently located within walking distance of anything you might want to see in the city. Frame Lake trail is a short walk from the hotel entrance. Great 5.5 km hike around the lake.

The room was comfy, the room-darkening curtains were great, the conference rooms were lovely, it was nice to see that Alex Janvier's mural was still there even though it took a little to find it in the fitness room. The food at the restaurant wasn't very good.

They decided randomly not to have room service but didn't advise anyone. Merely had voice message when rang for RS asking to leave message with room number and someone will call back. After 4 attempts over 1.5 hours I went to front desk to be informed that RS had been cancelled that evening (and most evenings during my stay). Only one lift working (result of deliberate damage caused over Christmas) no attempt to fix it) nor the front entrance where the car ran through and then hit the lift). Their room charge system wasn't working so every meal and charge had to be paid for separately at the time.

The beds, food, staff and shuttle were excellent! The gym had some negative reviews but it has everything needed and was bigger than most hotel gyms. The bathroom in my room needed some maintenance (rocking toilet, missing caulking), but was clean at least.
