For the price the interior of the building seems dated and the floors are not flat. Friendly staff. The airport shuttle is hit and miss.

Lifesaver
The Sternwheeler was a wonderful hotel. We had originally booked another hotel and were unable to stay there. We had a truck load of stuff and the Sternwheeler went out of their way to find a safe place to park for the night. The room was very comfortable and the staff was excellent. We enjoyed supper in the hotel restaurant and it was very good. I'll be sure to stay there if I'm in Whitehorse again.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were clean. The tub in our room did not drain properly, but we mentioned this to staff. Area around outside of hotel, not particularly attractive, but not much of that is in their control

Way over-priced for this non-distinct, dated property. Did not consider it good value for this much money. However, the restaurant, which is connected to the hotel, but not part of the hotel (i.e., you can't charge your meal to your room) did a very nice service. Highly recommend the bison chili!!

Great Location
This was a nice hotel. It was quite a long walk to get to the room from the elevator and the floors were a little uneven, but the location is convenient and close to many restaurants. Parking lot filled up fast and was not very smooth. The room was clean, comfortable and everything worked fine. No breakfast, so not a great value, but we stayed there on our way up north and again on the way back home, so we were happy with our stays.

The check-in was wonderfully smooth, the instructions and guidance were clear. I received great replies to all my questions, the reception staff was professional. I also received support with the booking of the airport shuttle and it was great and smooth too. My room is awesome and clean, and I appreciate having a laundry service on the same floor. I highly recommend.
