I'm expecting to head to Yellowknife, Hay River and Fort Smith next month. It looks like I'll try renting a car in Yellowknife and using the local cabs in the other two towns. Any recommendations on hotels? Any to stay away from?
Thanks,
NWT hotels - any recommendations

Stay at the Gold Range and you can tell all your friends you have found where the missing link in the human evolution chain can be found.
The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

The Office is closed. It's called Fuego now. Weekend brunch at the Explorer is all right. For some good fish go to Bullocks and bring $$$. Definately go to the Range, it's the finest that YK has to offer.

The Explorer is the best, but not the cheapest. If you're looking for a "deal" in YZF, maybe Super 8 or ever the YK Inn (just had reno's). Ptarmigan Inn for YHY, and not sure about YSM. Good luck!

Dinner at Bullocks is pretty good, but I was a little shocked at the bill. $45 for fish 'n chips and a bottle of Keith's:shock:
Some people are like slinkies, they serve no purpose, other than to make you smile when you push them down the stairs.

Fort Smith - that's easy, unless things have changed, go to the only one in town. Good Chinese. For a nice massage, go to the coffee shop, they have a good mocha also. Good golf course too!!
Drinking lots of coffee lately, at a nice safe jungle desk, wishing I were flying......
Re: NWT hotels - any recommendations
All those hotels are good, the Explorer is really nice, Bullocks is my fav for YK and you gotta stop by Harley's, Back Eddies is a goodie in Hay River...

Find a B&B hotels are expensive in YZF. Renting a car in YZF is $$$$$$$$$$$. Very nice place though, some of the coolest people I ever met. got to check out URSUS
Re: NWT hotels - any recommendations
North Country Inn in YHY isn't bad either ..I've been "living" there for the past month. Has kitchenettes etc. Lemme know when you are there .
If you can afford the plane, you can afford the gas!
