United States of AmericaThe restaurant and bar facilities were better than expected. Menu selections varied from regional to international and everything in between.
United States of AmericaThe staff was friendly, the food great and the location was very central.
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.
United States of AmericaThe bed is very comfortable! And the view is awesome!
