Poor hotel and too expensive...
Pros: This property was most expensive on our entire trip to Canada and Alaska.
There was an argument at check-in as they had no note of our booking for breakfast, however they had to honour this as I produced the email from Booking.com.
We went out to dinner as the restaurant did not look interesting.
The breakfast was lousy, all fried with no choice.
We did not enjoy staying at this hotel, they were not very helpful and it was poor value for money.

Great location, noisy unless on...
Pros: The restaurant on site had very good food. Location was great.
Cons: There are no public areas to sit or have a drink with friends unless you go to bar. The room was very small and was extremely noisy from rooms above . Had to move 2nd night to 3rd floor but was challenging as was told that 3rd floor was only available to corporate guests. They did move us eventually. Also using booking.com seems to get you the worst room.

Awesome option for Whitehorse
Pros: This hotel is located on Main street and is very close to restaurants and shops. They also offer touristic options, although I did not use these this time.
Hotel pub/restaurant is a lot of fun, open until very late and has live music on Thursday evening!

Pros: Front desk always cope with a kind of situation suitably. Excellent!
Cons: I visited Whitehorse to see aurora with my child. The aurora tour at Whitehorse starts at approx. 10pm and ends 2 or 3am. I had a plan that we would sleep at 4am and get up at 11am, and have the breakfast …, Unfortunately, the restaurant of the hotel works as a pub after 11am. Therefore, any child can't have a breakfast after 11am. Consequently, we had a breakfast at different hotel. When you visit Whitehorse for aurora tour, I recommend you to consider this experience.
Upstairs is noisy.

Pros: We had an issue with the toilet leaking and we were immediately upgraded to a suite. Staff were very friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant was great. Also as we didn't have a vehicle, the location in the downtown area is great! Will recommend anyone visiting Whitehorse to stay at the Gold Rush Inn

Neat bar/saloon.

Nice location, but a little...
Pros: Hotel provided a crib for our baby.
Reasonable WiFi speed.
Cons: - Quite noisy (upstairs and hallway)
- Housekeeping cleaned and replenished our room, while we displayed a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.
- Multiple items went missing from our room (Bag of chips, box of cereal), most disappointingly our son's teddy bear, which my wife remembers leaving on the bed, and upon inquiring into lost and found 3 hours after checkout, the hotel "did not find anything". A colleague also staying here, happen to lose some Bose earphones, which also mysteriously disappeared.
For these reasons, I will not return to this hotel, nor recommend it to anyone.
