Location was great, walking distance to most of the main places in town.
Room was spacious enough for 2. One of the cheaper options to stay in town.

This is the best hotel ever! Not because of the price but this hotel is very kind and warm considering for their customers. My husband was sick and got Nova inn full support on this matter. Thank you so much!

The building seems a bit old, as I could sometimes hear footsteps from the floor above. Also, I'm not sure what the heating system is, but there were occasional strange noises coming from inside the walls. Neither of these was disruptive enough to prevent me from sleeping.
The bathwater was lukewarm at certain times of the day.
The location, however, is excellent. It was convenient not only for downtown but also for driving to the ice road.

I stayed in Room 211 on Nov 6 - 8, 2025. During my stay, there came anonymous calls in the mid night around 2-3 AM. I was so troubled whether it’s harassment or *******. I decide to request a refund.

The in-room amenities were basic, and the cleanliness was mediocre. The room was small, and its condition certainly didn't justify the high price; it was simply overpriced. Guests traveling with RVs or campervans should avoid this place. The customer service was terrible, and despite the high room rate, breakfast wasn't even included.

I like :
- provides free airport shuttle
- strategic location, between old town and downtown
- good price
- functional with kettle, microwave, hairdryer
- temperature in the room is warm enough but didn't make it feel too dry like an oven
- there's a Chinese restaurant in the hotel which is not bad
I don't like:
- wake-up call was executed at the wrong time (an hour earlier). On another day when I was sleeping, it rang me up at 7:30am when I hadn't made any wake-up call request
- staff so so

I was very satisfied with the aurora borealis I saw. As for the accommodation, don't expect too much; it was just that the weather was really cold. The room heating was quite good, but it can't compare to similar hotels in China, so don't have too high expectations.

The facilities are a bit old, but it's easily accessible from downtown. It's a good place to stay for an aurora tour. A microwave is available, so you can buy food from the nearby supermarket.

The downtown area of Yellowknife is very small, and most of the hotels are in a small circle. So basically these hotels are very conveniently located, with walking restaurants and supermarkets within a few minutes.
The hotel room is quite comfortable, and the heating is powerful, but there are some strange noises. The room is fully equipped, and the refrigerator and microwave solve many problems.
I stayed for three consecutive days, but they never came to clean. It didn't work to hang a sign asking them to clean, and it didn't work to ask the front desk.
