Intersting decor and friendly staff but in need of upgrade to ensure enough hot water is available for morning showers. Did not enjoy the cold shower experience. Also the bathroom sink was plugged. More

Visiting here for business. Very clean and tidy. Staff has been very helpful and friendly. Front desk lady suggested a fantasic restaurant in town. Beds are super comfortable, flat screen TV and free parking. Location is at the end of main street 1 block up from the federal government building and 2 blocks up from a number of great little...

Despite of my three star rating, I did enjoyed my stay there. But there were couple of things I thought deserving of removing the two stars. First are the floor and the ceiling. They creaked like crazy. Whoever was below me must have thought there were parade of elepants above them and I thought the same of whoever was above... More

First, let me say there is absolutely nothing wrong with this hotel; the rooms are clean, the lobby is different (with a gold rush history style). The front desk staff was awesome, they tried to accomodate us the best they could. However, we really wanted a room with air conditionning which was unavailable in the season. Being in Whitehorse, totally... More

We went to Whitehorse to view the Northern Lights, and were booked into the Best Western. the hotel is adequate. However, it had a dirty bathroom when we arrived, and we had to call in housekeeping to clean the left over hair out of the shower and the sink. The elevators are small and slow and the rooms can be... More

My wife and I stayed here for a weekend during the 2011 Frostbite Music Festival. The hotel has been remodel to look like the old gold rush days, which is a little gimmicky but harmless fun. The rooms are fairly nice and modern. Clean, well kept and service was friendly. Nothing to keep us from staying here again. The pub... More

We spent five nights here in late February 2012 and found the Gold Rush to be a very affordable and pleasant hotel experience. The staff were helpful, the room fine and the facilities good. Being able to wash your clothes with the provided well serviced laundry for a 'twooney' is a real plus and much cheaper than the dry cleaning... More

I stayed at the BW Gold Rush for 3 weeks straight in January 2012 as part of a business trip. Also used their conference facilities for 2 of the weeks. I was in a 4th floor room at the back of the hotel, which was very quiet and well maintained, with a king bed, fridge and microwave. All very convenient... More

Overall a very comfortable stay for the 4 days we were in Whitehorse, front desk staff, housekeeping were all very nice. Gentleman driving the shuttle was terrific - I was annoyed that guests didn't tip the poor guy with all the baggage he was handling for both arrival and departure trips. Within easy walking distance to numerous restaurants and shops... More
