The Downtown, a Coast Hotel

I recently stayed at The Downtown, a Coast Hotel, for two nights while traveling to and from Whitehorse from Inuvik. I was thoroughly impressed with the hotel's charm, cleanliness, and cozy atmosphere, which had a lovely old European vibe. The staff were incredibly kind, approachable, and easy to talk to, making my stay even more enjoyable. The bed and pillows were absolutely luxurious, and I loved the amenities in the bathroom, including the organic lotion, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. It's great to see that the hotel is going green! The hotel's location is also a major plus, being close to many great restaurants. Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend The Downtown, a Coast Hotel, to others.

Positive: Location Negative: Upon check in and paying full price for a room, the front desk girl assigned us to the Annex. The Annex is low budget worker housing! There?s no AC, remote controls had no batteries, fans barely moved, towels were paper thin and it smelled.

We were happy to find the Downtown Hotel to spend one night in Dawson City. It was nice, clean with rooms on the smaller side. Nice and quiet and room darkening curtains too. Highly recommend the saloon that’s attached. Good food and the hubby’s had to try the Sour Toe cocktail. |Very walkable city and you feel as though you’ve gone back in time.

Great food, and I'd highly recommend their signature cocktail, the sour toe. It comes with a real preserved toe. 😃

I completely enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was everything I needed it to be. It was clean & the beds were comfortable. I liked the location. And it was decently quiet. The shower had great water pressure. The staff were very friendly & helpful. I locked my key in my room by mistake & they were super quick, giving me another key to get back in. I love the little candy sour toe they leave it the room. It made me giggle! Nice touch. We stayed 5 nights at this location & I only have 1 complaint (which is a small one), when we were running low on toilet tissue, we had to go to the desk & ask for more. I don't know why the didn't replace it or leave some during housekeeping. Anyway, it didn't matter. The location is great. It's very central. We were able to leave our car parked here & walk pretty much everywhere which we really enjoyed. It's a GREAT place. The parking can get a little tight as it is just street parking but you only need to worry about that once since you can just walk after you get there! Love the attached saloon! I felt completely safe & comfortable coming & going from the hotel at all hours.

Great place for family and fun! Rooms are spotless and we love to stay here under the midnight sun

Ok.... this hotel wasnt TERRIBLE but it wasnt good by any means. We had really crappy luck. We arrived at 2am only to find out there had been a planned power outage from 11pm to 5am leaving us with NO lights (they didnt keave flashlights either), and no hot water for a shower which is exactly what we needed/wanted after spending 15 hours in a car (one day of travel).|||| Even if the hotel was beautiful, it was about 1000 Effing degrees! Our ceiling fan didnt work either and no AC at all (we were in the building across the street though so idk about the main building). Toilet was extremely close to the wall too which also had the towel rack on it so washroom use was not at all comfortable as you always had towels rubbing against you (im also a 5'5" 150 pound woman.... not large by any means so i can only imagine how uncomfortable it would be for a bigger person). |||| I definitely wouldn't be staying here again, especially for the price. It was about $270 ish dollars a night i believe. We are still here but so far we've gotten no discount (which we will be trying to get). The town is GORGEOUS and i 100% recommend coming here, but maybe skip this hotel. |||| The restaurant (The Sourdough Saloon) was pretty good! The food was good and my spouce did the Sour Toe shot. Super cute and tasty and quick for the food, but the service was scarce (we were ready to leave for a long time and i ended up having to ask for the bill at the bar) and confusing. We werent greeted right away and there were no signs to seat yourself so we kinda felt stupid for the first minute of walking in, but seated ourselves and they did serve us.

Quirky hotel in the centre of Dawson City. Room was very clean tidy and comfortable although a little warm. Fans were provided. Tea/coffee/fridge and microwave available in room. Location was perfect for downtown. Staff were helpful and maid service was offered daily. Would definitely stop again.
