First time back in Yellowknife since pre-Covid, and happy to say the Explorer Hotel is as good as I remember. Friendly, familiar faces from staff to guests, fine dining, spectacular views from your room...I will say that I was a little disappointed with their room-cleaning policy of every 3 days (I know some hotels in the South are still doing the same thing), but I'm told that this is due to a major shortage of workers in Yellowknife. Now, I was originally going to give 4 stars for this review, but I can't fault them for lack of staff. Anything I needed in between cleanings was readily available at the Front Desk! Thank you Explorer...and see you again real soon!

Perfectly fine for sleeping, folks this is Inuvik, not LA

Reviewed By Dave H

Not the most up kept hotel, but must have been quite nice when it was built. Room was decent, clean and had all of the amenities. Bed was comfortable, sheets towels were clean. We had all of the amenities for making coffee in the room, accept the coffee maker. Upon request one was supplied promptly. Breakfast buffet was exactly as described "Continental", I know other hotels serve pancakes and eggs/sausages (love those), great to up the caliber, but this breakfast was a decent continental affair. I watched them vacuum and scrub the lobby floors the night before and the following morning there were lumps of dirt from careless folks not using the boot brushes outside. Must be extremely hard to keep nice when folks using the facility don't care. Yes, it could have been better, but given the location, and the varying types of clientele I felt it was as described. We were here for the travel experience and the amazing North, not bath bombs and spa treatment.

Not bad

When I go on a trip, I prefer to spend money on experiences, not housing, so Discovery Inn wasn’t bad. Restaurant downstairs was alright, and owner was very helpful when our flight got canceled due to weather.

TOTALLY DISGUSTING ROOM & NON SMOKING NOT ENFORCED HERE.

Reviewed By Ramo2011

First room wasn’t too bad. Until the person staying in room next door thought the “NON SMOKING HOTEL” didn’t apply to them smoking marijuana. Add to that their acute hacking cough would be keeping me up all night! I’m driving delivery on an 80 hours back to back trip to Yellowknife this week. Sleep is my most important resource. So I requested a move to a different room. It was older but I had no other choice. Issues; -No screen in the bedroom window. -Long black hairs on certain areas in room. - DRIP MARKS on the wall over the wall switch in the living room/tv area. (So much for “Strict Cleaning Policy”!) -BURN MARKS on the baseboard heater leading out to the balcony & ALL OVER THE BALCONY. -SMELL OF MARIJUANA COMING INTO THIS ROOM AS WELL. -Weird other smell in room (like an overpowering air freshener, nauseating). *This hotel doesn’t enforce NON SMOKING & NO LOITERING, either inside or just outside their building. Honestly, if you expect more than a 2 Star Hotel? THEN TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE.

Noisy, not clean and forgot wake up call

Reviewed By Robert R

The fact that the motel is noisy is not totally the fault of the hotel. There is a homeless center next door, and the homeless sometimes wander around the motel area. I hear plenty of shouting at night from the homeless. However, the sound insulation in the rooms is poor, which is why it's easy to hear noise from other rooms. While the day manager, Pam, is friendly enough, she really needs to focus on what the customers request and remember the requests. I asked her yesterday to have a wake-up call at 3am this morning. She said she would pass this on to the night desk clerk. She did not, and I almost missed my flight. I asked another desk clerk for some answers to questions, and I think he thought it was not his job to answer questions about Yellowknife. Actually, it is.

Should have read other reviews

Reviewed By A5231BLjasonl

I should have read the info about the hotel before booking I didn't realize that there was no parking available. The room was extremely warm all the time with the temperature above 27 degrees Celsius. And unable to open the window because it is screwed shut. There’s zero view from the room. The cleanliness of the room was mediocre, the fan in the room had a dirty cloth on it with a tea bag stuck in the fan shroud. Some of the furniture is damaged and showed wear and tear of its age. The front entrance started leaking from two locations right at the front doors very inconvenience entering and exiting the hotel lobby. Also during the stay the fitness center was unable to be used by patrons. There was also no coffee/ tea for the in room kettle.
