Very nice rooms, kind staff, and great location, within walking distance of downtown and Old Town. On one day the shower stopped fully functioning with almost no pressure. The food was also mediocre but very expensive. All in all, a nice hotel to stay, but very pricy for the quality of services.

Clean and safe. The price is not worth the value

Beautiful location. Great view from my room. Accomodated to my room requests. The only downside was parking (could get a little tough at times). And had someone sitting outside twice either asking for money or asking me to buy something off of them. I get times are tough, and I feel for those being hit the hardest, but it just wasn't something I was expecting to happen when I was checking in and out of the hotel.

I liked how fast i got to my room.
Disliked how my $74 bottle of wine and $34 cheese platter was presented when i got to the room.
A bucket of ice with the bottle in it would had been nice and not having the glasses and bottle in the fridge. Didn't even know the glasses were in the fridge until we were done the wine.
Pastic covering for the cheese and fruit plate.
Just made it look cheap which it wasn't

I had a great view from my room on the top and dealt with William (aka Daniel..he'll get the joke) who's great at the front desk.
Lots of things within walking distance, like The Black Knight (pub).

The Explorer is my "go to" hotel in Yellowknife. Updated, clean, and the staff is super friendly and efficient. Rooms are spacious, big beds with nice comforters.
Highly recommended.

There is limited dining near the hotel, there is an onsite restaurant, which is quite expensive, and an on site lounge which is a little on the expensive site for a lounge but pulled lamb quesadillas were really good, all other dining options require you drive or take a taxi. Lastly no TEA! in the room just coffees. YUCK!

Loved the view outside and atmosphere of the dining area. The food was delicious. Nice lobby area great shuttle service. The lounge was cozy. The beds were very comfortable.
The only thing it lacked, was a little store to get toothpaste or other essentials and snacks. Or at least I never saw one.

We found the the bar staff efficient and friendly and ate in there on our second night. We stood for 10 minutes at the restaurant for dinner and noboby approached us, my husband had to walk in to get attention. When somebody eventually came there was no apology and the other couple waiting walked away.

The staff are always very friendly and helpful. The rooms need an upgrade and the grout in the bathroom was quite in need of redoing. However those rooms are always so clean and housekeeping does a great job.
5.0
Well maintained and cleanliness is exemplary.
Elevator-have to use card inside the elevator and it takes time for the card reader to clear from the previous card before one can swipe his card and the elevator is moving and so it may be a little late to press which floor this guy is going.

Very clean modern facility.
Great restaurant.

Good hotel overall. Good location in Yellowknife. Good views of the city from all sides. Food at Trader’s Grill and Pub are decent

The room is clean and the bed is comfortable. The staff at the front desk is not very friendly. Expedia gold members didn't benefit from staying in this VIP hotel. No upgrade or late check out kind of thing in this hotel. The restaurant service is very slow. We had been waiting for an hour to get the breakfast. Expedia provided only one person's breakfast buffee, so the other person has to pay $22 for the buffee which has very limited choises of food. Very disapointing.
