CanadaLocation is nice, on top of a hill with nice view. Walking distance to town with restaurants, shops and market. Nice room with microwave and refrigerator, 24hr room service.
United States of AmericaGood location: it is only 5-minute walk from YK Center, grocery store and restaurants. Hotel restaurant is very good which is a plus when you don't feel like to go out for lunch/dinner in the cold (very cold) weather. Room service is good and price is reasonable. Shuttle service from/to YK airport is very convenient We had a good stay at the Explorer Hotel.
