This is an old school typical highway motel. Why average rating? Well, what else are you expecting in a community of 800 people? The hotel is old and ugly, inside and outside, but it has a "OK" bed, free WiFi, a restaurant next door, a bar behind the hotel and an incredible view of the front range of the Kluane... More

Staff was heplful and it was quiet since we had very nice neighbours. The hotel has vry nice views of the mountains. There is a nice laundry facility and a small restaurant which... More

Food was so salty two bites in we couldn't eat it -- and I thought my companion and I could eat anything! No offers to re-make or adjust, even after the manager agreed it was inedible. We paid our bill and left -- hungry -- and angry.... More

This is a basics only motel conveniently located on the Highway in Haines Junction. It is about 2 hours out of Whitehorse and another 2 hours to Haines, Alaska. My room was dark, the bathroom small and the kitchenette old. The enitire place had a "tired" look and is in major need of renovations. However, the sheets, towels and dishes... More

Its about the SMELL! Putrid. Mould, smoke, stained bedding, you name it this place is straight from a horror movie. Do yourselves a favour and keep driving. Oh and if you want to complain to the owner forget it because they close up shop right after you check in. One other thing, bring your own food unless you want to... More

We stayed at the alcan motor inn for three nights and it was just great. Had a room upstairs. The rooms have been super clean. Very friendly people and staff. It was very quiet although the motel is located at the crossing. A great stop to do the laundry in the motel itself. They are going to re open the... More

Guy at the front desk told us he was giving us a "local" rate as we were from Yukon. Then some couple for the U.S. walks in and get... a cheaper rate for the same room! Avoid. More

At the time of our stay, there were two motels open. We chose here. The room was clean, beds comfortable, had a refridge and lots of tv channels and wifi. It was somewhat noisy outside- we could hear everyone loudly climbing up and down the stairs and slamming doors. Staff were courteous. This motel states it has CAA, but they... More
