The room was clean. The inn was also quiet. I feel for the price I paid it was worth the value. The Red Apple restaurant was ok but lacked flavor in a few items wr ordered. I would stay here again.

There was no breakfast It’s really run down and I didn’t know you could smoke so I am allergic to cigarette smoke so I was Avery stuffed and the bed was like a box spring instead of a mattres But it was the only room available in Yellowknife so better than sleeping on the floor at the airport
