Midnight Sun, a Coast Hotels - Dawson City, Yukon

Very nice. The bed is very comfortable. They advertise a restaurant but the only restaurant isn’t the sourdough saloon. Not in the complex. No elevators or porters to bring luggage in. Plus you need to register at the main downtown hotel complex to get an access key. Do that before pulling up to the midnight sun hotel. Nothing is very far. The Francis bar lounge is under the rooms but it does not impede sleep. Comfortable and clean but has a musty smell. Very cool experience. Nothing that should stop anyone from visiting. Just to be aware. The rooms are very bright during the night even with the blinds drawn.

The positives:|-The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable, but very soft. Nice bathroom products provided. The shower water pressure was crazy good, so much so that the tub drain couldn't keep up! A mini-fridge and coffee/tea are provided. The location is great. You can walk to almost everything Dawson has to offer. The interior of the building is lovely and does feel like you walked back in time. ||Check in is at the Downtown Hotel, just around the corner. It was easy enough. Never saw a staff member after checking in. The building is secure with room card access only for all the doors. All the rooms require carrying your bags up at least one flight of stairs. ||The A/C worked well. It's a bit rare to have in Dawson! ||The major negative: The noise! The walls between the rooms are paper thin. We could hear every word, cough, sneeze, the television etc. from the next room. Thursday to Saturday the Midnight Sun Lounge is open with very loud music, karaoke blasting from early until 2am. No chance of decent sleep, especially in a first floor room. It was slightly muffled on the second floor. It would be quieter during the week. I wouldn't stay here again on a weekend.

This is probably the most updated hotel in Dawson. Rooms are comfortable and the AC is super handy on those hot Dawson days!
Location is right in the heart of Dawson and just be aware, this town is bumping during the summer on weekends, so noise is there. Didn't bother us at all. The lobby is stunning, but be prepared to check in at the downtown hotel around the corner! Friendly and accommodating staff and lots of history in this building!

Midnight Sun, a Coast Hotel, is a boutique property operated by Coast Hotels, a Canadian hospitality chain emphasizing regional experiences. I appreciated a lot my experience there. The rooms were clean. Established as a historic site in 1985, the hotel has undergone recent renovations to integrate Dawson City's gold rush heritage with contemporary luxury, creating a seamless blend of nostalgia and modern amenities.

This unique hotel is as described, a personality all its own. An old building with a history to discover,I will leave that to you to discover. A well restored main floor to reflect the old flavor, look at the ceiling. A small kitchen area with a microwave and a fridge for use of clients.| A set of stairs to climb which takes you to a well restored second floor with secure access to your room. Room well appointed with 2 queen beds, a refrigerator, the usual coffee pot, and large screen t.v. which was the only drawback trying to figure out how that operated. Beds extremely comfortable and pillows you could lose yourself in. Bathoom well done and a shower head you would want to take home. |Very quiet with no noise from other rooms or from outside. Room darrkening curtains as it seems it never gets dark in Dawson City. The location is such that it is within walking distance of everything |One drawback is that there is no front desk to register at so you have to go to the sister property "The Downtown" a coast hotel located a small block away. |All and all we had a wonderful stay and recommend it highly.

Not told until check-in that my room was above a karaoke bar that's open till 2 am. At $250 per night, I felt that should've been disclosed in advance - and it seems to have been a bone of contention with other travellers, too.
The bar itself was unremarkable.
The hotel, otherwise, was great. Friendly staff, comfortable room and a complimentary shuttle to and from the airport. But please do something about the bar situation.

I stayed in this hotel Tuesday - Friday in early June, and those details matter in my rating. The room I got was the king suite which is absolutely beautiful and so luxurious. The staff was wonderful and helped me out when my key didn’t work about four different times (don’t store it near a phone or credit card). Anyway Tuesday - Thursday morning I loved the hotel and the room. It was very spacious, newly renovated, super quiet, had great large dark blinds, a Samsung tv I could cast my phone to… truly wonderful. Then Thursday night came and the bar below my room was open for the weekend. The spare the details, my room was vibrating until 3:45am despite the bar closing at 2am. I was so frustrated and called the hotel many times for help —I even called the police. In no world should that room be rented out on the weekend in the summer, it’s like trying to sleep IN a nightclub. To give credit to the hotel, they did not charge me for my final night but for most folks, myself included, that’s frustration spoils the trip even if you don’t end up paying.

I write this in my review to hopefully warn others —WONDERFUL experience Monday-Thursday morning, probably great in the winter as well, but not appropriate for when the bar is open.

All good except for having a room over the lounge on Thursday and Friday nights….very, very loud. Be warned if you want to sleep here. It may have been mentioned when we booked, I don’t know, but we were not careful enough. There are many other accommodation options here, don’t be deceived by the Coast chain affiliation. The music continues until 2 am.
