Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a remote location, situated on the bank of the Yukon River. Overall, the stay was fine despite the near-record heat that day. The staff was friendly and hardworking, making the experience pleasant. However, the dining options were limited to seasonal products. The location was perfect for breaking up a trip between Dawson and Whitehorse, right on the highway with access to a lovely boardwalk walking trail along the river.
