Good Stay

Stayed here 3 nights while visiting for work. I enjoyed how the hotel was connected to a pharmacy/grocery store and had two restaurants plus a cafe inside. It was the dead of winter so I appreciated not having to go outside to grab a meal. I tried both restaurants and they were quite good, one is more of a bar/pub food with events during select nights. The room itself is quite large and cozy, it is definitely on the older side but it was still clean and comfortable. Staff were pleasant, and there is also a movie theatre inside the hotel if you are looking for some entertainment!

Don't stay here!

The advertised service was poor. The hotel was understaffed and it took tow calls, one for 12 minutes the other for 18 minutes before they picked the phone up. Then they still did not show up to get me from the airport as paid for. Then there was no internet service as advertised. The Hotel manager then proceeded to blame me for not knowing how to use a computer (I have been using one for over 35 years). She was very aggressive and kept trying to pass blame on me. Even stating that I was "just a complainer." And wanted me to account for why there was not a big line up of people complaining. I recorded her conversation ad told her I was doing so before she de-escalated her behaviour. I also had spoken to the security guard before speaking with her and he explained that the hotel does not purchase enough bandwith. This was also confirmed by the staff at the bar associated with the hotel. For being the top hotel charging over $300 a night I expect better. Senior management need to consider who they hire to represent their hotel.

Best of limited accommodation choices available now in Iqaluit. Central for many of the conferences/meetings taking place. Rooms comfortable, complex has restaurant, bar, convenience store, coffee shop. Had to leave early and had no problems, staff helpful. Poor wifi service but that is normal in the north.
