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.

There is a monopoly of hotels in Yellowknife. The properties do not need to maintain high standards of service or be amainable to guests needs. They care very little about providing a positive experience. If you're dissatisfied, oh well...there are plenty of other customers looking for a room. Unfortunate and shameful.
