“Good Night's Rest at the Golden Bear”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed here one rainy night in June while en route to Dawson City. The room in the back "new" building was very clean, albeit a bit worn around the edges, but no complaints. My bed was quite comfortable and I slept soundly. The area that night was quiet. The staff were all friendly and cheerful folks.

I ate at the restaurant on site, and boy those two women working that night (the cook and the waitress) could put fancy 5-star places to shame. They had a packed dining room and meals were served hot, fast, and with a smile and some chit-chat. The home-cooked special offered that night was just what I needed after an 8+ hour drive in the rain. Free hot coffee or tea in the morning at the front desk. I would stay here again.

A side note: internet is available but it is not free. One hour was $2.95 and I think one 24-hour period was $6.95.

“Good Stay at the Golden Bear”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2009

We stayed here with our dogs and the rooms were clean and basic. They were a bit worn around the edges but we may have just been in an older room with the dogs. Overall it is a clean friendly place to spend the night on your way north or south.

Very firendly staff, ask to stay in the new part in the back, We stayed in both the newer and older on different stays and found both to be clean. Love having laundry avail as we were travelling with kids. Breakfast was provided and was great - lots of choice incl fresh fruit etc. Also went to the Grumpy GrizZ for dinner on thier recommendation and it was great!

“Pretty shabby but clean”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2008

person found this review helpful

The Golden Bear does not look as good as the pictures in the pictures on the web. No bed bugs or clenliness issues but dingy, threadbear and old. Very cheap looking (as is much of Tok) but you just about have to stay in Tok if you are driving to or from Dawson, Whitehorse or Glenallen. Look carefully at the other options.

ILoveAlaska2008, Family Owned and Operated Business (Daughter & Manager) at Golden Bear Motel & RV Park, responded to this review
1 August 2008
This review is inaccurate and hurtful. We have no idea how to respond to the breadth of inaccuracy in this review. The pictures on the website are current and the entire property over the last two years has been updated. We cater to both large tour companies such as Sunshine Tours, Utopia, Jerry VanDyke, etc. and individual families who swear by our quality of service and accommodation. Most of our guests thank us for being the nicest place they've stayed along their trip to Alaska. Mr. O'Gorman was extremely difficult to work with during his stay and appeared to be having some personal issues which impaired his ability to accurately evaluate his stay. I strongly feel this review was made as a personal slight.
