Overall Ratings & Reviews The Downtown, a Coast Hotel

Nice

Overall good. There was no bath plug and the hot water was really unstable (sometimes it randomly turned burning hot or freezing, really unpleasant). Beyond that, it was a fairly good hotel.

This property is situated in a town that feels like you're coming out of a old western movie. It was really cool and being surrounded by mountains was beautiful.

Pros- Staff were very friendly. The room was small but was very clean and updated. The bed was very comfy. The bathroom was also updated with a stand up shower but no tub. Shampoo/conditioner/shower gel and lotion were provided which is great if you forget to bring your own. There is also a microwave and decent sized mini fridge in the room along with a Nespresso coffee machine. TV had numerous satellite channels to watch so that was much appreciated. The location of the hotel is in the heart of the downtown area so it's a quick walk to coffee shops and other shopping stores. Cons- The walls were thin so you could hear everything in the hallway which made it difficult to get a sound sleep. There is a restaurant and a ahuttle to the airport but no other amenities such as a workout area etc. All in all a great little boutique hotel in beautiful downtown Whitehorse.

Spent one night on our travels and were very pleased with the Downtown Hotel. Loved the enclosed space, made it easy to get to our 2nd floor room out of the elements. The “gathering space” was a nice touch. Quiet, clean, super comfy beds and perfect TV reception. Highly recommend!

Rooms are very standard and outdated !

Unique property in a unique setting.

Pretty cool place!

Good condition for an old heritage building. It would have been nice if the bar restaurant had better hours.

Expensive for a small room and no handicap access.

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.

Great little place

It was a bit louder at night but most likely because of people who attend the late concert.

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!

Great hotel in the middle of town, parking was easy right outside and could walk to everywhere in town

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.

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.

Really wonderful
