I like :
- provides free airport shuttle
- strategic location, between old town and downtown
- good price
- functional with kettle, microwave, hairdryer
- temperature in the room is warm enough but didn't make it feel too dry like an oven
- there's a Chinese restaurant in the hotel which is not bad
I don't like:
- wake-up call was executed at the wrong time (an hour earlier). On another day when I was sleeping, it rang me up at 7:30am when I hadn't made any wake-up call request
- staff so so

The hotel is located between Yellowknife and the old town, with Franklin Main Street in front of it. It is about 1 km to the old town, major attractions, and supermarkets. There are many restaurants around. The Chinese food in the kitchen on the third floor of the hotel is good. It is very convenient for sightseeing, shopping, and eating. The room is spacious and bright, with complete facilities and clean hygiene. The hotel also has a free scheduled airport shuttle, but Ctrip did not introduce it.

There were so many places I wanted to stay that I chose this one, but the bathtub was spacious and the bed was comfortable to sleep in. I would recommend it.

The hotel is conveniently located, most Aurora tour groups will pass by, and the price/performance ratio is reasonable. There is a shuttle bus, which is nice and convenient, close to various tourist attractions. Good front desk service

Although I can hardly speak English, they were very polite and helpful. There was also a microwave in the room, which was very convenient. The shower, toilet, sink, and other water facilities were also clean. If I have the opportunity to use this hotel again, I would like to book it.

The place is well lit, even if you come back late at night after going out to see the aurora, and security is also good.
The amenities are also plentiful, which was nice.

There were many issues with the cleanliness, such as stains on the sheets and stains on the sofa. There was also a particular smell, so I had to wear a mask.

Front desk service is very good. There is no free bottled water, but there are vending machines and restaurants. There is also a free shuttle bus to the airport.

The hotel is conveniently located. It is convenient to go to Old Town and Downtown. The travel agency will pick you up at the hotel door. The room is warm, the towels, pillows are clean, the hot water is hot enough, and all basic needs are provided. The room has a microwave, kettle, refrigerator, etc. supply. It's just that the hotel has a bit of history inside and is expensive. In addition, we arrived at 1 o'clock in the morning and took a taxi to the hotel at our own expense of 20 Canadian dollars. When we checked in, we asked about the airport shuttle service. It turns out that you can tell the hotel in advance that you will arrive in the early morning and the hotel will call a taxi and pay the taxi fee for you. .

If you are satisfied 👍It is recommended to book in advance if you are chasing the light. It is almost 15 when we come, the moonlight is relatively strong, the sky is very blue when photographed, and the aurora is also green. If you are after dark night and green aurora, try to avoid it, hotels can also have them

I stayed in a twin room on the second floor.
The room felt clean.
Kitchen equipment included a microwave, mugs, coffee maker, etc.
It was very dry probably because of the heating.

When I arrived, the room type I originally booked was not available.
Help me free upgrade left
Full facilities in the room
There is a microwave oven in the kitchen so you can cook your own food.
Provide free shuttle bus to the airport
The only thing that deducts points is that security is not done well.
In the middle of the night, a strange uncle came to the lobby and masturbated
I don’t know why the residents have to let him in🌚

The free bus departure timetable from the hotel to the airport is attached. There is a Chinese restaurant on the third floor. I plan to try it at noon. I don’t dare to expect too much in terms of taste. The coffee capsules in the room taste good.

There is a shuttle bus, but you have to wait a little longer. You can take a taxi and claim

I used it for sightseeing in Aurora.
There aren't many restaurants in Yellowknife, so I bought ingredients at the supermarket and ate there, but the room had a kettle and microwave, which was very convenient.
Supermarkets and drugstores are also within walking distance.
Amenities included shampoo, conditioner, and body soap.
The only downside was that it was very dry and gave me a sore throat, but this is true throughout Yellowknife, so it may not be specific to this hotel.
Also, my husband didn't notice any change at all, so it seems that there are considerable individual differences in how dryness feels.
