Before you arrive in Inuvik for the first time you are not entirely sure what you will get, so it's understandable that you might temper your expectations. But like every aspect of our short trip to Inuvik--the people, the culture, the community, the opportunities for adventure, the spectacular wilderness--the Mackenzie Hotel exceeded our expectations. The restaurant, cleaning and reception staff were all helpful and friendly and the pride in the hotel showed as it was well-maintained and very tidy. The lobby makes for a grand entry into Inuvialuit art and culture with a small but impressive collection of original sculptures, paintings, photographs, and other pieces. Despite it being a challenging moment of transition in the shipping and supplies season, every meal we had was fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent. The hotel is ideally located in the vibrant, beating heart of Inuvik, within easy walking distance of most community sights, services, and attractions.
