Hotels near Aurora College, Inuvik

Having made it up the Dempster to Inuvik & suffered Eagle Plains we were almost dreading the hotel standards/costs in Inuvik. What a pleasant surprise. We didn’t have a booking, but still had our choice. We opted for the Capital Suites two room option with kitchen so we could self- cater with food supplies we already had in the car. It was just perfect, exactly what we needed. Respite from the dust & mossies, huge space, great kitchen & utensils, nice sofa & seating area, good bathroom, nice bedroom with comfy bed & good bedding and at a price not too much more than the Eagle Plains very ordinary room. A great place to relax and recharge before tackling the return journey. The motto is – if you can brave the Dempster, don’t worry about room pricing in Inuvik.

Not the most up kept hotel, but must have been quite nice when it was built. Room was decent, clean and had all of the amenities. Bed was comfortable, sheets towels were clean. We had all of the amenities for making coffee in the room, accept the coffee maker. Upon request one was supplied promptly. Breakfast buffet was exactly as described ”Continental”, I know other hotels serve pancakes and eggs/sausages (love those), great to up the caliber, but this breakfast was a decent continental affair. I watched them vacuum and scrub the lobby floors the night before and the following morning there were lumps of dirt from careless folks not using the boot brushes outside. Must be extremely hard to keep nice when folks using the facility don't care. Yes, it could have been better, but given the location, and the varying types of clientele I felt it was as described. We were here for the travel experience and the amazing North, not bath bombs and spa treatment.
