This hotel is one of the better choices in Whitehorse. The rooms were fairly well appointed and new. The bathtub/shower was left out of the last renovation and was obviously old and worn, didn't drain properly and was in need of some maintenance. However, the deal breaker here is the internet. It was PAINFULLY slow and unfortunately for me and... More

While nothing special, it was probably one of the better places in Whitehorse to stay. The room was small but the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very good during check-in and we did have a place to park our truck and U-Haul trailer for the night. Would probably stay again given our other choices.

Stayed here for 3 nights and my room was very nice. Great comfortable bed and decent furniture in the room. Only complaint is that the Internet can be very slow at times and you have to constantly re-login to the access page whenever you leave and come back. Would still recommend this place to anyone that is travelling to Whitehorse.

Stayed here for 4 nights. Rooms had 2 queen beds which was a pleasant surprise. Rooms are a great size, comfy beds, and a bar fridge which is a nice bonus. Some of the front desk staff are great, others are a tad average. Very short walk to shops and restaurants.

I stayed at the Gold Rush Inn for four nights and was pleased with the accommodation. The Gold Rush Inn is filled with character, charm and personality. But, if you are wishing for luxurious appointments, seek elsewhere. I admire the Best Western for keeping the original character of the hotel as it made me feel like I was stepping back... More

We stayed at the Gold Rush Inn for three nights in April. It's an average Best Western, quite central, and clean enough. The beds were the best part of the room - comfy and cozy. And the windows opened, which was nice, since I sometimes found the room hot and stuffy (not sure if the room thermostat actually worked). The... More

We stayed in Gold Rush Inn for 5 nights. The hotel is an old building which is charming of course. However the most problematic part for us was the strong smell of sewage coming from the bathtub and sink. It made the bathroom, and parts of the room smell like an outhouse. Also the floors are very squeaky so our... More

Just stayed here for 3 nights. The first room we got on the 2nd floor was terrible, bathtub was disgusting. We requested a move and moved twice before we ended up on 3rd floor. The bathroom was much better. The pub is a complete dump and a total disappointment. The professional photos are completely misleading. We had the worst caesar... More
