Hotel Analysis
Based on 4 sites · 3,195 reviews
This 3-star hotel in Yellowknife serves as a base camp for aurora viewing trips. Guests frequently mention the spacious and clean rooms in reviews.
Across booking sites, reviews repeat that suites are roomy with kitchens and washers that are convenient. Rooms stay warm in winter, and many saw auroras from balconies. Airport and inter-building shuttles are handy, per business and family guests. Downtown eateries and shops are a 10-minute walk.
However, staying in the separate building means waiting for shuttles or short walks in freezing weather, which draws complaints. Housekeeping is spotty at times, and some noise issues pop up.
It's especially suited for families, groups, and aurora chasers.
