The Frobisher Inn

We loved it. Ismail and all.other staff were very helpful Thanks everyone

I really enjoyed my stay at the Frobisher. The room was large, with clean and modern appointments and nice amenities. It was very homey, with an armchair and a good desk, and I actually wanted to spend time in the room relaxing. The TV is connected to a satellite that can be a bit dodgy (you kind of have to get the hang of it), and the free wifi only allows one device at a time to be active. Breakfast was not included in my rate, nor were airport transfers. The hotel is located up a hill from the main centre of town, but an easy walk. If you don't want to leave the hotel, it has 2 very good restaurants, a coffee shop, and is attached to a cinema and drug store.

A birthday lunch with my family of five (three adults and two children) came to $150.00 including a 20% tip. Service was good and the food was reasonable, but not spectacular - just okay. One of the dishes arrived with one important ingredient missing and when we inquired about it, were offered a substitution but the server was hesitant to not charge us extra for it. Wine was listed on the menu at $16 a glass, but we were charged $20. When we inquired about the discrepancy we were informed that was old pricing and our server simply printed up a new menu, in front of us, with the new pricing and showed that to us as proof! Not cool. I was just travelling through and will never return, but it was not a pleasant experience from my visit to Iqaluit. My family, who does live there, will most likely not return to the restaurant. There are other nice establishments in the area to choose from. I didn't go in expecting big city perfection, and I understand due to the remoteness of Iqaluit that pricing will be higher but pulling a bait and switch and cheating your customers out of their money is not a good look.
