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 many hotels where they only look up at you when you are standing at the counter, but in this hotel, the front desk staff greet you when you walk in or out, and ask how your stay is going, and if you need help.

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 think they renovated the fourth floor and charge a little higher rate on these rooms but nothing unreasonable, the mattress is pretty good, heating is just right most of the time, although it could get hot when temperature outside rises above zero celcius, bathroom has good lighting and also heated, soap is all in the containers hanging on the wall, easy to reach. The only drawback for the room would be the tv, which I rarely turned on because it really doesnt have much channels to watch, wish they had a list of channels with the numbers to use with the remote. Other pro's: the hotel restaurant doesn't really give you much noise in the winter month at least during the time I was there I didn't hear anything, and they have very good fish and chips - big portions too and I liked the sweet potato fries! You can pretty much borrow whatever you need from the restaurant, I think it's pretty convenient, their menu pricing is reasonable, ie. $10.95 for a burger meal, $13.95 for fish and chips with free salad or soup. Hotel location is within a few blocks away from a drug mart, a Starbucks, a Chinese restaurant, a japanese restaurant, a nice cake/bakery, several banks/ATM.

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 went above and well beyond their jobs to make us all feel welcome, and tolerated and amused our son as he has been touring around the hotel the last few months. We will miss their friendly faces and smiles when we leave, but our son will miss them even more. They were so great with him taking the time to wave at him, look at his toys when he wanted to show them off, and just giving him their time and attention that a toddler is always looking for as he explores all the things that are new to him. A huge thank you to the whole staff for the way they treated and helped my family during our stay, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone.

There are few selections and few differences, but the staff here make this hotel stand out.

Very friendly and will go out of their way to make sure that not just your hotel experience is great, but your whole time in Whitehorse is!
