The Yellowknife Inn is very well-positioned, located right in the middle of downtown Yellowknife, and therefore within easy walking distance of the mall, several restaurants, and the businesses located downtown. I also have to mention that I am very much a country boy--when I travel, I avoid downtown areas like the plague. But we are talking about Yellowknife, after all,... More

I booked a king suite here, I got to the room and went to sleep as I was working nights, when I woke I looked at the hotel information booklet in the room and noticed that my room was exactly the same as the queen room. I went to the reception and asked what type of room I was in,... More

I stay at the YK Inn several times per year, in addition to using thier conference facilities on occassion. I last stayed at the YK Inn November, 2011 and cannot say enough about my stay. The hotel is well located, nicely renovated, and has by far the best staff I have ever encountered in a hotel anywhere! If you haven"t... More

I was at the Yellowknife Inn in November and was pleasantly surprised with the hotel. From the street or mall entrance the hotel presents well and the staff was very quick on the check-in. As I was walking around the hotel I could tell it was much older than the current appearance and was glad renovations had been made to... More

Front desk staff should be polite, helpful, and above all welcoming. Clearly the guy who checked me in had left this box of tricks at home. After a very long series of flights I really was expecting more but probably shouldn't have. The rooms were pokey and stuffy, the restaurant was closed by 9, and the food was generally poor.... More

The Yellowknife Inn is attached to a small mall and is in the downtown area. It has it's conveniences such as: you can stay indoors and walk to a restaurant for breakfast, pickup souveniers to bring home, indoor parking and you can book package trips to the see the Aurora Borealis like we did. The package was the main reason... More

Bonus - Free shuttle to the airport. While the staff were friendly and the front lobby was modern and spacious, the same could not be said for the rooms. The room (on the fourth floor) had a very strange layout. Pictures on the website were misleading.There was not enough room between the bed and the entertainment unit to be able... More

Yellowknife itself is a really quiet town. We went up to see the Aurora Borealis and this seemed to be the best option. While it was central, there is no free parking - you have to park at a meter. We had a car but didn't use it much and you really don't need one. The hotel is right in... More
