Wonderful Accommodations!

Wonderful Accommodations!

For our three nights in Churchill, the Aurora Inn served as our home away from home. Admittedly, I was a bit curious about the condition of a motel property that is so far from the rest of civilization, and in a town without a lot of options. I was pleasantly surprised as the comfort and amenities provided the guests. Churchill Nature Tours did well by selecting the Aurora Inn as the packaged accommodations for their tour guests.

All of the units utilized by our tour group were two level condominium type units. When you entered your room the first thing noted would be the large living space to include a dinette area and full kitchen. The sofa and chair were in good repair and were a comfy spot to watch the large flat screen TV. While our tour was all inclusive for meals, this would have been perfect for those who didn't want to eat out for all of their meals.

Upstairs was the loft style bedroom with two full sized beds and the bathroom. Again, this area was spacious and well furnished to include a smaller sized TV for those who wanted to watch television before bedtime or perhaps in the morning while getting dressed. I found my bed to be very comfortable, although the pillows were a bit on the flat side. There was more than adequate bedding, blankets and such, to keep me warm during the howling blizzard that roared in on our third day in town.

The motel also included complimentary WiFi internet access for those traveling with their laptop . . . or two PC's in the public area for those who couldn't be bothered lugging a laptop north. There also was a laundry area that was free for those who wanted to wash clothes during a more extended stay.

If you are planning an ala carte vacation to Churchill during bear season (October - November) you will need to book your reservations here far in advance as they do cater to two tour companies - - Churchill Nature Tours and another. Additionally, be prepared to make your deposits many months in advance.

Rates during bear season are $195/night for a single and $235/night for a double. While there are some discounts available during the "off season" there are none during the prime time of bear season (October - November).

The owner is a man by the name of Gavin. He was a friendly sort, always with a smile on his face. He was very accommodating and helpful. He was gracious in assisting me in getting my large, beastly heavy suitcase up the flight of stairs to the loft area. I would stay here again if I ever have the opportunity to go to Churchill.
