Quality Inn and Suites Yellowknife is at 5010 49th Street in the downtown core, across the street from the Centre Square Mall. Its own website describes a friendly base for dog sledding, aurora viewing and visits to the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, with the Frame Lake trails nearby. The hotel has Magenta Bistro and Cafe on site, free Wi-Fi, a fitness centre, a convenience store, a gift shop, a travel agency, laundry, banquet and meeting rooms, an elevator, accessible ramps and security. Dogs are welcome for a nightly fee and a refundable deposit, with weight and number limits. The airport is a short drive away and the hotel's site mentions a shuttle service, with no schedule or price given.
Location and getting around
The mall across the street means groceries, a coffee shop and winter clothing are a short walk away, which is useful when it is bitterly cold. The Northern Heritage Centre and the Legislative Assembly are a short drive, and Old Town is a few minutes by car or taxi. Aurora tours commonly pick up from central hotels, so ask your operator whether it meets guests here.
The rooms
Expect straightforward rooms with free Wi-Fi, large televisions and coffee makers, and suite options for families. A booking page says the hotel does not offer parking, so confirm before you drive here, especially in winter when you may want a plug-in or a sheltered spot.
Who it suits
Budget-conscious couples and families, and anyone who values being steps from shops and food. What is good to know: the fitness centre has set hours, the shuttle details need confirming, and pets have a fee and a deposit. Compare it with Chateau Nova, which is near the museums, and with the Super 8, which includes breakfast.
