I have travelled to Yellowknife several times and have stayed at many of the hotels in town. The Super 8 was by far the best of all the hotels. The staff right from check in to check out was friendly and personal. During my 4 day stay the front desk staff and the housekeeping staff made me feel welcome and were always asking how my stay was. My room was clean, and smelled fresh. The breakfast in the morning, which is free, was great. Loved the make your own waffles.
The internet was a little slow, but considering the excellent service I received, I will always stay at the Super 8.

Didn't find the staff eager to help. After our first night, we discovered that 83 year old grandma's room didn't shut securely (all I had to do was push it a little and it opened, even though she tried locking it with the bolt). We went to the staff and they acknowledge our complaint, noted that it was an off-rent room and she shouldn't have been given the room but never even offered to switch her until we told them that they had too! Poor grandma!
In our room, the chairs and bedspread were stained, the lock latch was broken (but we could still secure it). There was mold in the bathtub (may have been black mold but I didn't want to explore it any more.) Definately not worth the price and would not recommend it at all.
What a disappointment after we stayed at beautiful one in High Level, AB where they staff and rooms were much more than we expected.

Highlight of this place is Tim Horton's, which is spitting distance and Wal-Mart and Marks Work Warehouse which are just a few meters away, sprinter Usian Bolt can probably run between the three in 10 seconds flat.

The front desk clerk was very friendly, genuine friendly, not this is a hotel its my job to be welcoming kid of friendly.

The rooms were clean, but small. I was in a non-smoking and was happy to smell it didn't smell like smoke.

I got the sense the ceiling and walls are susceptible to noise transfer, so if you are unlucky to be under or beside a noisy guest it might ruin a nights sleep. I could hear the person above me walking around. It was very muffled but if you are sensitive to noise you might want to check out another place.

Nice surprise with the continental breakfast was best I've had anyways. The had waffle batter to make yourself fresh waffles, variety of breakfast cereals, Tim Horton donuts (fresh), toast, variety of good yogurts, fruit, cookies, juice, coffee, tea all the usual options at continental breakfasts but not stale.

I recently travelled to Yellowknife for business. I checked into this hotel and checked out after only two nights (I was scheduled to stay for 14).
When I arrived there was a broken window on the outside. Safety is a concern for me as I travel alone.
The front desk staff on check in were not very helpful (although everyone else I dealt with during my stay were extremely helpful and friendly).
I had been promised a fridge and microwave in the suite during my reservation. The rooms do not come with them but they have some on supply for guests requiring them. The staff informed me that the maintenance person was not in for the day and that they would get one or the other to me the next day. I never was able to get either in my suite during my stay.
The hotel room was very clean and nice except for a single dirty towel hanging in the shower when I checked in.
The continental breakfast was very good. They had a nice lay out with plenty of variety. Cereal, bagels, toast and even waffle mix and a waffle iron.
My particular room had some very big problems. The heater did not work properly (which is not acceptable when it is -40C outside) and the shower stopper was broken and would not let water drain out of the tub. I am assuming that my room was the only one with problems like this as I did not hear anyone else complaining while I was there.
Despite the positives of this hotel I would not stay there again.
