"Good for price but wouldn’t stay again."

7.0

The cleanliness of the room. Comfortable bed.

I thought it would be more secluded and quiet. Paper thin walls were disturbing with the restaurant and people upstairs. The water was either scalding or freezing if someone else was using water.

"Self contained cabin with views of the lake from your bed"

10.0

Self contained cabin with views of the lake- private and comfortable, in cool old town area. Easy to walk to the (awesome) brewery and cool little shops. We could walk across the ice right off the dock.

A toaster would be a great addition :)

8.0

Well located, well equipped room.

Noisy room, we could hear the boiler room quite loudly, and the neighbors next door because it communicates with the restaurant next door, we couldn't hear the restaurant but the staff who must have been fetching things from the room.

"Exceptional"

10.0

I like the privacy, amazing location with its own entrance to the lake and this time when the lake is frozen. We went for a walk on the frozen lake every day was amazing, strongly recommended, and plus the cabin has his own bathroom. And I have the pleasure to meet with the honor Jhon, who is a nice guy and very friendly, took time to explain to us what activities, restaurants, and places we can visit. And don't forget the most important thing, we were able to see the norther ligths twice, you been in love with the place.

"Unbeatable location"

10.0

A+ for the location on the shore of Great Slave Lake in the heart of Old Town, Yellowknife. I definitely want to return, and I would stay here first. If it were not available, I would look for somewhere else in Old Town, which is more charming than the city center. In addition to having a great view of the lake, the Aurora Bayside Inn is within easy walking distance to so many great places, for instance, the Bush Pilots Monument, from which you get a 360 degree view of the city and lake; the Trading Post, a trendy cafe with delicious cinnamon rolls and their own ice cream; Bullock's Bistro, the iconic fish restaurant; and the Northwest Territories Brewing Company, a super happening brewery with excellent food and beer -- try the Bug Repellent IPA. We stayed in the three bedroom suite, which was comfortable, clean and toasty warm, in addition to having a great view of the lake and balcony from which we saw awesome Northern Lights.

I was surprised that the tap water isn't as cold as it is in Massachusetts in the winter.

"Host was friendly, helpful and prompt in responding to any issues raised. Great location"

9.0

Great location for Aurora watching with large windows in the living, dining area and also from the big deck overlooking the open space and lake. Very convenient to have a restaurant within the building serving lunch and dinner without having to step out in the cold.

had to haul luggage up the stairs to the second floor unit - no elevator
