The Hotel is located at convenient location. Restaurants, banks, supermarket...etc are all within walking distance. The front desk staffs and the restaurant servers were very nice, friendly and helpful. Just recommended the Explorer to a couple who are planning to visit Yellowknife next year.

The hotel is the most expensive here, and the hardware facilities are okay. The free airport shuttle is shared by several hotels. The drop-off time is fixed. The pick-up time depends on the arrival of the plane. Generally, everyone who needs to pick up their luggage will leave before leaving. If you don't have luggage, you have to wait patiently.

Satisfied, satisfied👍 It is the best hotel in the area. It has two podiums, and the other one is newer, so it is a bit more expensive. The aurora certainly lives up to its name! It is recommended to go to Yellowknife to see the Aurora
