Clean accommodation. You take your shoes off at the door. The front desk provides footwear for you to wear in their establishment. There is a restaurant attached with a limited menu but great food

Another fantastic stay on the way up to Yukon's Arctic. Thoughtful, detail oriented, meticulous clean place with high quality food in their Restaurant. Friendly Staff with charm and charisma. The only thing that could be improved is the choice of coffee brand.

My husband, son and I and my sons friend ate at the Aurora last night. All of the food was excellent. I had Beef Tenderloin steak. Absolutely delicious. Others had Brisket or Ribs. Everyone raved about their dinner. The salads were also excellent. Service was top notch and the hosts very friendly as always. Keep up the good work! Well be back.
