The hotel's location was excellent, allowing easy walks to local attractions, but the strong smell of pizza upon check-in and the inconvenience of taking out the dog due to distance from a door were a concern. The service was accommodating, although some staff lacked people skills. The dining options were a bit spartan and costly, mainly offering continental breakfast at a high price. Still, the friendliness of the team and the convenience of the location were definite highlights of the stay.

The hotel was decent, but some areas could use improvement. The rooms were a bit small for two queen beds at the price. The presence of fruit flies in the bathroom was a concern, and the hallway leading to the elevators looked worn out. However, the service was courteous and helpful, and the location was convenient being close to the town center and restaurants.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, close to key sights in town. The room wasn't as clean as I hoped, with some maintenance issues like missing outlets and water stains. Service was friendly but somewhat lacking in engagement. The dining options were a bit overpriced for what was offered.

The hotel has a great location in the center of Whitehorse downtown, offering easy access to everything. However, the rooms are in need of some sprucing up and could be cleaner. The service encountered was helpful and friendly, especially at the eatery in the hotel, but a bit disorganized at times. The breakfast area was a bit cold, though there was a good variety of food. On the bright side, it is well located despite any scheduling changes that might occur during a trip.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not up to standard with a hard king bed, malfunctioning lights, and an overall dirty and musty atmosphere. However, the presence of a microwave and small refrigerator was convenient. The staff seemed indifferent to guest concerns. The location was ideal, right in the middle of Whitehorse downtown, making it easy to access nearby attractions and necessities. The dining options left more to be desired, with an expensive and subpar experience. Despite these drawbacks, the service provided some nice touches like setting the fan for air circulation during the day.
