“Not the best Choice in Town”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2009

Our handling agent set this place up, but we were very disappointed in it. It was extremely over priced. We paid CAD 219, and I would equate it to a Super8 in the USA. Not a good value. They are taking advantage of tourism.

Rooms were clean, but no frills - same with the bathroom. The people at the front desk were not knowledgable, and were slow. The Hotel is out dated and they had to run my CC by hand swipe. Our flight was very early in the morning, but the front desk was not 24hr - they only work for about a 7 hour window - so we had to have our agent check us out after we left. I tried to call the 'on call' number they gave me, but apparently I was not more important than sleep for the person on the other side. I was told to wait until they opened later - not an option for us.

The restaurant did not include breakfast and was way over-priced - meals running upwards of CAD 50 (US$45) - so we did not eat there.

I would recommend the Frobisher Bay Hotel on the hill top - if you must go to this town. The facilities are far better.

“A nice place to stay in Iqaluit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2006

people found this review helpful

My husband and I had a very pleasant stay at the Discovery Lodge last month. The airport shuttle picked us up promptly, the room (though small) was quite comfortable, the housekeeping staff was pleasant and helpful, and the restaurant was excellent. Best of all, a FREE washer and dryer--a big bonus when you've just returned from a backpacking trip!

“management does not care about the guests”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2006
11
people found this review helpful

We arrived at 8:30PM and called the hotel for the advertised shuttle. We were told it was on the way. It did not show up, and repeated attempts to call the hotel were met by a busy signal. After 40 minutes (a freezing rain was falling) we managed to find a taxi.
Our complaints with management were dismissed. We asked for some quick food (sandwich, salad..) from the restaurant, but they refused to help although the restaurant staff was there and we had missed dinner because of the shuttle disappearance.
My wife asked for a 6:30 wake-up call (early plane) but nobody called.
Another minor but bothersome thing: they charge you for local calls even if the call does not go thru.
The rooms are ok considering you are in Nunavut, but management does not seem to care for the customers.
