The room was clean and updated, but the facility (hallways, lobby, etc) was very dirty. Not just a charming old feel, but especially dirty and a bit smelly.

This is a nice hotel in a great location. The staff is wonderful, very helpful. The rooms are a little overcrowded because there are two queen beds in each room and little room to get around. Parking is OK. It is mostly in a lot across the street.

Very nice stay at this property! Was surprised to see that they had a portable air conditioner in the room. So that helped out a lot as it was warm that weekend. Clean and historic building in the middle of downtown. Thank you!

Fun town, Nice town but a lot of stairs
This review is going to speak about the down of Dawson City as well as the Downtown. Because Dawson City is trying to keep its historic appeal people with disabilities are going to be pretty limited on what and where they can go and see. This is also true of the Downtown hotel. There are stairs everywhere and only a few ramps. But once you're in the room its a very comfortable room. If you're a warm sleeper bri's a very comfortable room. If you're a warm sleeper bring a fan because even though there is a Fan in the room, you won’t find it to be enough During the summertime. They put my sister and I in the annex, which is across the street from the main hotel, it was a really nice building once you got inside but the stairs going into the building But the stairs going into the building are a bit hellish and you have to check in across the street and go up those stairs and they are just as bad. I did request a room on the ground floor, which they gave me.

RESEARCH CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU BOOK
Room was clean BUT make sure you understand that very LITTLE in Dawson City is accessible.and almost everything is on dirt streets with wooden sidewalks that are unlevel and uneven. Hotel has stairs. Staff need to tell you that the locks turn opposite way from normal and sometimes are difficult to open. TV - you need a lesson in how to operate it. We finally snagged a person who could show us how to operate it. Room certainly large enough for our party and was comfortable. No air conditioning. Don't put fan on high speed or it looks like it is going to come off the ceiling. Needs some minor maintenance. Great little sitting area but couches weren't dusted but were comfortable. Ice machine. No fridge.
