On a motorcycle trip through Watson Lake I needed a place to stop for the evening, it was a choice between here or the Big Horn I chose here because it has an onsite restaurant. Walking into the lobby, I was greeted by a nice lady with a smile. Asked if I would like the last empty room on the first floor.. Heck yes! She told me they just replaced the tv (50") The room was nice size I would have to say it had been painted in the past year.. the bed was comfortable, I ate dinner and breakfast the next morning here, The room was quiet, and the room smelled clean When I checked out the young lady at the desk even said Thank you for staying with us, How many places will do that. Its an older hotel, but they are trying to keep it up. If I pass through here again, I will stay here.…

There is a reason this hotel is not on the booking sites and you have to book direct. It is so you can’t see all the bad reviews. It is the worst place in the the Yukon (not just Watson Lake). A quiet room was offered right on the highway - they changed our room to over the entrance and next to the animal rooms. Dogs barked from 6pm to 9pm. Sadly the barking was replaced with dirt bike and ATV riders doing stunts and skids through the car park until 1am. The owners did NOTHING. All rooms would have been privy to this hideous noise. It went on for hours. In addition cars pulled up regularly to buy alcohol - slamming doors and drunken chitter chatter accompanied this. It was in fact a form of torture, When I buy a hotel room, I am buying a good nights sleep and a hot shower. I got no rest. Rooms are basic. Linen discolored and threadbare. The front office looks like a jumble sale (you can buy clothes , jewellery, cake etc. everything is tacky. Everything is geared to up selling you (especially on petrol) but they cannot meet their basic function to provide you a quiet room to sleep. Stay away.…

In 2019, a friend and I tried to fly our airplane from Michigan to Alaska. The trip took us to Watson Lake and because of an unusual number of fires, we were unable to cross into Alaska. Limited by weather, we stayed and Andrea's Hotel for 3 nights. Twice, when taxi service wasn't available, Andrea herself came to the airport and brought us into town and in the morning, took us back to the airport. In her restaurant on our last night there, she had the chef make us a special dessert from her country of birth, the Philippines. It was like nothing I've have had since. Her and her husband are genuine, hardworking people and made us feel welcome even though we were so far from home. We hope to attempt another Alaskan trip someday and if we do, we will call from the Watson Lake Airport and ask for a ride into town again! …

We booked this hotel because it said the owner's had remodeled it. If they did it was in a different era and not a good one. It was actually scary. Our room looked nothing like the pictures shown on their website. See photo.

Might want to check room out before staying due to the smell. We opened the window and it did help. Other room had no smell and was fine. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Great price. Restaurant on site which is nice. Good food reasonably priced. No wheelchair accessible rooms but we were able to get wheelchair through the door. Very small bathroom , no wheelchair access but one room had a grab bar at least to use.

We stayed here in July 2022. The room was great, and everyone at the hotel was pleasant and helpful. We accidently left some items behind in the room. The hotel staff tracked down the items and worked with us to get them sent back to us. We are so appreciative and would definitely stay here again!

My two favorite motels were either booked or closed for the season so I checked in here. I was a bit apprehensive because of the negative reviews that I saw. The room was clean and bathroom spotless. I had trouble with the TV but the desk clerk came up and got it going. The rugs going up the stairs needed cleaning but who sleeps on the stair rugs.Also, being a frontier type town, one should expect this occasionally. The coffee pot was a new type and made excellent coffee. Rates were high but this is the Yukon. I will stay here again.

This hotel is disgusting, I do not recommend staying. If my husband and I were not too tired to keep driving we would have skipped this hotel driving straight through. The beds were sagging in the middle, cigarette burns on the lamps, stains and holes in carpeting and walls. The whole place reeks of cigarette smoke. We were so uncomfortable we left in the middle of the night after just a few hours sleep.
