The Willows Inn in Fort Simpson is one of the nicest well kept motels I have ever stayed at. The attention to detail is pretty much unmatched. The management seems to have thought out every option a guest may need. Immaculately cleaned and maintained. It will be my #1 go to motel when I return.

Super comfortable accommodations. Rooms are clean and very well appointed with coffee maker and fridge. Lots of space to unpack and spread out with a desk to work at. Colin and Leah built The Willows Inn with sustainability as a priority. The common kitchen area with cooking facilities allows 24 hour access to coffee, tea and breakfast regardless of the hours one is working. I highly recommend The Willows Inn and the Janor Guest House in Fort Simpson, NT.

Our two nights in Fort Simpson couldn't have been better: lots of helpful "extras" provided in a comfortable and clean room, with additional facilities for a great breakfast included. Central A/C with adjustable room vents worked well to keep the room cool during the hot weather. Highly recommended.

One of the nicest places we stayed in during our trip north. A quiet, comfortable room with everything that we needed and access to a communal kitchen with a variety of food for a light breakfast. Much appreciated the care that went into everything.

The inn in modern and located off the main drag. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. They have enough room to pack and re-pack if you are going on an adventure. It is a short walk from The Northern which is the new pharmacy in town. Both Colin and Leah run a great operation.

The Willows Inn was a very nice accomodation. Leah and Colin are great hosts and are always there for questions and to dos in the area. The Room was clean, had a air condition and was lovely furnished. There is a community kitchen for the guests so you can make your own breakfast. You can cook for lunch or dinner as well and meet other guest's or have a little chat with Leah and Colin. We loved it here and will definitely come back, if we come to Fort Simpson again.

I had the pleasure of staying here May 2nd and 3rd. When I booked they arranged a shuttle from the airport to their place. The room is nice, bathroom amazing and the hosts go above and beyond. I had to work in town the day I arrived and Colin was nice enough to give me a ride. If you’re taking a trip to Fort Simpson don’t look anywhere else. Stay here, you won’t regret it.
