With limited choices in the Whitehorse area, this hotel is very good. The shuttle from the airport to the hotel is roughly about 30 minutes. They are courteous drivers. Pay no attention to the lobby as it doesn't have that "inviting" feel, but the rooms are very clean and comfortable. The staff at the desk were very helpful and friendly.... More

Traveling with our dog, we always appreciate a hotel that gives us a good quality room, without charging a premium. This was a very nice large room, very comfortable and up to date. The beds are very comfortable, nice cushy towels, etc. The wifi has recently been upgraded and is the fastest I have had on this trip. My only... More

I have stayed at this hotel three times, and other than the shabby lobby, I love it! The rooms are clean and spacious, with fridges and microwaves, comfortable King-sized beds with tons of big fluffy pillows and large bathrooms. The staff are knowledgeable about Whitehorse and local sites and restaurants, and as friendly as can be. I have stayed in... More

We stayed here for five nights at the business class king bed rooms on the fourth floor and paid about cad$112/night with taxes included. You may have the impression that this is a motel like place from its look on the outside and old fashioned decorations on the inside, but the business class rooms will not let you down, I... More

The staff at the Goldrush Inn is without a doubt the best hotel staff that we've ever encountered. From the front desk, maintenance, cleaning, and restaurant, and shuttle staff, they were all awesome and made our stay feel as close to a home as possible while we have been in our transition and house hunting in the Yukon. They all... More

Updated rooms in this older structure are quite comfortable. Front desk staff were friendly and did not hesitate to go beyond the call of duty to satisfy unusual requests. Downtown location is great - walk to everything. However, unless you have already lost your hearing and you are more interested in alcohol than food, skip the on-site "restaurant." It is... More

Thank you for staying with us and for the positive comments. We are very proud of our Front Desk staff and they will be pleased to read your review. And while the Gold Pan Saloon is a very popular pub in town, its not always the quietest dining venue. So we plan to add cafe to the hotel this coming... More

We booked through a tour operator, Northern Tales and asked for a quiet room at the back of the hotel, having read through some of the reviews. When we arrived we were put into a room directly above the saloon. Horrors. We thought our tour operator must have not communicated this information. It was 2:30pm so we thought we would... More

Check in was amazing fast and I loved the jacuzzi suite on the fourth floor, facing the street. The size was about double the size of an average room will work desk, coffee table, tv stand/drawers, king size bed, chair, end tables and a corner jacuzzi tub for enough room for three. The decor was contemporary but it would have... More
