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, and was told a queen, I then had an argument with the receptionist as to what I had booked which ended when I showed her the booking on my blackberry which clearly showed a king suite. She offered to let me change rooms but as I was off to work I had no time so I decided to stay put.

When I booked out next day I was presented a bill for a king suite when I queried this I was told the room I was in is a king suite, this ended when I told her about the conversation the day before with another receptionist, she then said "well the rooms are the same price anyway" this is clearly nonsense and untrue as I knew what the queen costs when I chose to book the king, how dumb is that.

As to some of the other reviews and the comments from the management here, the doors are fire doors but I would point out that this does not mean they will stop noise. You can have a fire door with noise insulation, which would be more expensive, these don’t have the insulation so even someone talking in the corridor could be heard very clearly in the room.

The rooms where very clean but the renovations most certainly had not been finished to a high standard, maybe management should look at room 436 which I stayed in and try to reconnect the heater to the wall as the pipes had pulled it so there was a gap of about 6 inches, and I am not sure why there was a pink paint streak on the white wall by the bathroom side of the bed.

I dont want to go into the breakfast but all will say is try somewhere else.

In the yellowknife inn, room is really tiny and house keeper doen't really do anything and they don't come on holiday. The only the good thing is in the front desk they answer the all the questions for guests. just go to the 'Yellowknife Outdoor Adventures' and Carlos will be tell you better hotel which has bigger room and $10 cheaper.

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 stayed at the YK Inn I certainly recommend that you do so.

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 keep it nice.
I was on the third floor over looking the government buildings and several restaurants. The hotel is attached to one mall and across the street from another so there is plenty of shopping, salons, and food available. The government buildings looked to be a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel has an agreement with a local gym for work out facilities which would be good for a longer stay.
My room was fairly large, had been recently renovated with a nice bed, and there was new granite in the bath room. The heating system worked so well that I was glad there was a window I could open to get some fresh air.
As I was taking the stairs from my room I ran into some renovations on the second floor but I was there until midday and never heard a sound from the work.
Overall I was very happy with the stay and will stay there again when I am in Yellowknife.
