Eagle Plains Hotel

As the only real choice on the Dempster Highway, this did us fairly well. The rooms were basic and there was not much in the way of scenery, but we were comfortable. Food was decent and we enjoyed time in the lounge before bed. All in all, a decent stop.

Located approximately 375 km north of the junction of the Dempster Highway and the Klondike Highway, the Eagle Plains Hotel is definitely a site for sore eyes after a long bumpy drive. Unless your love of driving borders on the masochistic, this is a must stop on your way up the Dempster. The next stop is literally hours away.||This is more or less a glorified truckstop, but they really have everything you need: food, lodging, fuel, and, heaven forbid, vehicle repairs. Everyone we encountered here was very pleasant and there are a pack of dogs that are truly charming. ||Some of the negative reviews I have read are, in my view, misguided and based on highly unrealistic expectations. It is what it is, and we were completely satisfied by our visit.

Spent two nights here going back and forth to tuktoyaktuk. The hotel is very run down. I don't think they have invested money into it.|The lounge chairs are disgusting, very badly stained. Looks like people have had accidents in all of them. The lounge is a very cool looking room with all the bear rugs and animals on the walls.||Chairs in the breakfast cafeteria style room are not much better. Sat on one and it collapsed due to rust on the welds.||I will say the food is very good and has good portions. Prices are reasonable considering where you are. Be prepared to share your meal with up to three dogs that are there during meal times.||Rooms and hotel are poor. But the sheets are clean. Room was clean.||Gas prices here are nuts, up to $3 a litre.|I suggest getting gas in fort McPherson, it was a $1.68 to $1.90||Tried to use the car wash but it didn't work. ||There's a camp ground also, but people told me the Washroom and showers for the campers were disgusting.

Only place to stay along the Dempster if you are not camping. Rooms are old and used with thin walls but sheets are clean and comfortable and bathroom, while a bit beat up is also clean and comfortable. Restaurant on site is really good!

Better than expected- I stayed a night at the hotel and enjoyed the bar and restaurant. The hotel rooms were comfortable and better than expected given the remoteness of this place. By comparison - I did the Dalton Highway in Alaska and stayed at the Coldfoot Camp which was far more primitive; the Eagle Plains was a palace. I heard the campground and showers for that were not great, but I was pleased with my room and shower. The restaurant and bar was good as well. Not cheap but again, this is a remote outpost of a place. |People working there were friendly and looked like they had been there for a while. Internet was good, satellite and free.

Again it's one of the only places to stop on the Dempster hwy... Don't expect modern, not exactly clean , and under no circumstances use there public shower which they charge 10 dollars for... I would not wash my dog in there! But there is food and drink, and a motel... And wolf dogs....

After a long tiring journey from Dawson City, Eagle Plains hotel was a really great place to take a break. Pretty good room under the circumstances, hot shower and good food. Friendly staff. Will come back again.

Recently spent a night at this Hotel, on the way up the Dempster Hwy, and another 3 nights on the return trip- with 1 of those nights sleeping in the lobby ! Initially thought this would be a larger town- but it's more a group of necessary businesses in one remote place. Accommodations are good, food is good, bar is good, internet was good. Staff (Frank and Jenny (Jennifer) in particular) are great ! Like any adventure, situations arise, and this 'Oasis in the Wild' and it's staff were appreciated and so helpful to this solo motorcyclist. (I see a few comments about the loitering dogs - they were friendly, clean and stress relievers for many of the travellers that stopped here. I enjoyed them !)
