Very central. Just a short walk to all amenities. Quiet and accessible. Probably has fewer facilities than the other hotels in the same hotel group but it’s not an issue. Serves as a base. Up to the guests to decide how much they wish to explore. We took the snowmobile tour and it was splendid.

I had a fantastic stay at The Vault! The hotel is spotless, comfortable, and in an excellent location. The breakfast room was pretty small and cosy, but I had no issues finding a space, and the food was delicious! The staff were super friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, thank you for a wonderful trip!
