Had a lovely stay for 4 nights, enjoying the comfortable Deluxe King Room. The restaurant offered a relaxing ambiance with impressive views of the snowy landscape, and the food was delightful. The staff were always friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. However, the dining options around the hotel were quite limited, requiring a drive to find alternative eateries.

Comfy stay with good food
I spent a night in a Superior King Room, and it was cozy! The lounge had a nice vibe and I enjoyed a great meal there. Definitely appreciated the early shuttle to the airport. Just wish they had more breakfast options. Overall, good for a short stay in Yellowknife!

We explored the local art show downtown, filled with fantastic pieces and friendly artists. The grandkids loved the bouncy castle and face painting. The breakfast buffet was another highlight, offering a variety of delicious options to satisfy everyone in the family.
My kids wished for a small playground area to play off their energy.

I just had a lovely four-night stay in Yellowknife! The room was spacious and comfortable, and the restaurant offered fantastic views with delicious food. However, I was disappointed that there was no top bed sheet provided, just a thick duvet, which made it tricky to sleep comfortably.

A Cozy Stay with Delicious Dining Options!
I enjoyed a comfortable night in a Superior King Room. The meals at Trader's Grill were delightful. their soups stood out! While the check-in process had some hiccups, the lobby's ice water was a charming touch. For a more streamlined arrival, I suggest utilizing online check-in features.
