Hotel North, Loring Drive $119 Canadian a night plus HST
Hotel North
Not a lot of choice, I am led to belive, but this one was clean, tidy and welcoming after a long flight. Close to 'facilities'.
Just a tip, make sure that you're with a mobile provider that is tied with Bell Telecom. I am led to believe they are the only provider in the area and my UK mobile was about as much use as a chocolate firegurard.
Great place - have fun.

Hotel North 1 is favourite with Mariners rest next door and bar next to that if you are so inclined. There is Hotel North 2 further down with Jungle Jims rest there but mate had to lay over in BIRK having eaten there. Not saying it had anything to do with the food!
Trappers rest if you want to cook your own caribou steak. Did find gem of a cafe next door to souvenir shop last time through. Cafe Inconnu Inc, 5 Loring Drive just across road ,from Hotel North 2. Looks nothing from outside but new owners making a real effort. Comfy chairs, broadband and they were talking about setting up cheap phone facilities. They would open early for you for breakfast and make you a "packing up" for the trip.

Goose Bay is great.
1. Woodward Aviation for Handling.
2. Hotel North 1 or 2
3. Trappers Cabin for a good steak.
Stayed in the Labrador Inn a couple of times, good if you like an Eskimo Fight of a night. (Both times I stayed there) Stick to the Hotel North.
I havent found any UK based mobile phone that works there.
