Midnight Sun, a Coast Hotel

The Midnight Sun is a kitschy (foyer) elderly hotel where we were first booked. Because we were staying over the weekend, the SIMPLY AMAZING front desk clerk, Joffrey (sp?), graciously moved us to the sister hotel, The Downtown. Not as kitschy, just as clean. Furnishings in both were sparse and tired, but the cleanliness (and comfort of the beds) were top-notch. Joffrey tipped the scales though… over and above in friendliness, professionalism and efficiency.

Staff was very friendly & helpful. Moved us to a quieter building prior to check in. Thank you! Good coffee - nice place.

Shower,WiFi and bed are good.

Party downstairs very loud no breakfast included Lost power electricity once

This property was amazing. Best location. Rooms were all updated and the AC was great (it was a scorcher out, so we really appreciated this) the best part was the front desk and their customer service skills. We were truly looked after and cared for.

Staff was helpful and friendly. Room updated nicely with all the comforts. Easy to walk anywhere in town. Somewhat over priced.

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.

At check in they informed us that the lobby music was really loud till 2 am . And it was true. We changed hotels after 1 night. They should put that on the web site. Then no one would stay there. It’s was disappointing as the rooms were nice

The inside of this hotel is in

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.
