“The red wallpaper telegraphs this property's historic character, and it's just steps from Dawson City's main attractions; that central location makes it easy to walk everywhere. I think the on-site restaurant, home to the famous Sourtoe Cocktail, is a real draw, as is the pet-friendly policy. For travelers seeking a taste of Klondike history with modern comforts, this hotel seems like a solid choice.”
