Stanton Suites Hotel Yellowknife is at 476 Range Lake Road, in a residential part of the city a few minutes by car from the airport. It is rated as a three-class property and is built around suites: the one-bedroom suite has a kitchen and runs to about 550 square feet, and the booking page shows refrigerators, microwaves and coffee or tea makers in rooms. The hotel is pet-friendly, offers free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a 24-hour gym and barbecue grills, and has an elevator and free self parking. Breakfast and an airport shuttle are not included in the rate. It suits visitors who plan to stay several nights, which is exactly how aurora trips are best planned, and who want to save by preparing some meals.
Location and getting around
Range Lake Road is not downtown, so plan on taxis or tour pickups to reach the museums, Old Town and the lake. The airport is about a six-minute drive. If you have a rental car, it is easy to reach the Ingraham Trail and Aurora Village from here. Ask any aurora tour operator whether they pick up here, since some meet guests at central downtown hotels instead.
The rooms
A suite with a kitchen means you can buy groceries, cook breakfast and keep snacks for long evenings out. Rooms have refrigerators and microwaves even in standard categories, and the building has an elevator. Barbecue grills are a bonus in summer and a curiosity in winter.
Who it suits
Families, small groups and longer stays, and anyone watching the budget. What is good to know: breakfast is not included, so shop ahead, parking is free, and pets are welcome. You are away from restaurants, so check taxi options at night. For a hotel with a restaurant and downtown location, choose The Explorer or Chateau Nova. Families often like the extra space of a suite, and it is worth asking about the layout when you reserve.
