Loved this place, and Dawson in general. Always love staying in historic accommodations. The room was fantastic, beds incredibly comfortable. A/C worked perfectly. And this place checked off the three most important things on my hotel checklist - clean, quiet and (as stated earlier) comfortable. Ample parking, and right in the centre of it all. I stayed during the offseason, so the Sourtoe Cocktail was being offered at another location, but this I believe is the in-season location. If you wanna do that. Which I did lol Was blessed with vivid Northern Lights on my first night too, so added bonus. Staff were excellent and very helpful. Couldn't complain if I tried!
This property is situated in a town that feels like you're coming out of a old western movie. It was really cool and being surrounded by mountains was beautiful.
Spent one night on our travels and were very pleased with the Downtown Hotel. Loved the enclosed space, made it easy to get to our 2nd floor room out of the elements. The “gathering space” was a nice touch. Quiet, clean, super comfy beds and perfect TV reception. Highly recommend!
This is a nice hotel in a great location. The staff is wonderful, very helpful. The rooms are a little overcrowded because there are two queen beds in each room and little room to get around. Parking is OK. It is mostly in a lot across the street.

A good spot in a really good town.
The hotel was good. It’s not to the level of big city hotels but fits its surroundings well. Beds were comfy and it’s located in the middle of town, a 5-10 minute walk from everything.
Oh hotel staff was good. Every person I dealt with had a smile on their face and made you feel welcome.
I stayed at the Downtown a number of times and am always satisfied when I leave

Overall good. There was no bath plug and the hot water was really unstable (sometimes it randomly turned burning hot or freezing, really unpleasant).
Beyond that, it was a fairly good hotel.
Very nice stay at this property! Was surprised to see that they had a portable air conditioner in the room. So that helped out a lot as it was warm that weekend. Clean and historic building in the middle of downtown. Thank you!
