We did not make reservations ahead while traveling the Alaska Highway and came upon the Big Horn in Watson Lake one evening when we were exhausted from a long drive. We were thankful to see the vacancy sign and we were given an upstairs room with two beds. There were no elevators but I think the hotel is only two... More

After a 16 hour day and an often harrowing drive up the Cassiar Hwy we were more than ready to just find a warm place to sleep. We were thankful to see a vacancy sign on this snowy night and that they had a room with two beds available. The desk staff did look at me like I might be... More

This hotel is a welcome sight after a long drive on the Alcan. We had our pet dog with us and were not able to find any hotels that would take him in. When we checked in at the Big Horn they were happy to have him stay in the hotel. The hotel is a wee bit on the old... More

In June 2012 I and two other riders stayed at the Big Horn. We was so glad that we had reservations because they filled and people were turned away with few choices in town. The staff was very friendly, the room was clean and just right for three guys tired from a day astride our motorcycles. The food in town... More

The 1rst floor stinks of septic or dead bodies , or something! They had no other rooms but the "jacuzzi " room. A regular room that has a redneck jacuzzi installed in it . So I had to pay $130 bucks for a value that should have gone for $60.

Excellent place to stay along the Alaskan highway! Friendly staff and traditional room set up with television, coffee. Next door is an awesome place to eat. You could also stay there, as they have rooms, but can't speak on it, because I don't know from experience. Food was so/so, but when you've been traveling on this road, you don't care;... More

Pet fee $10 PER PET. So much wanted to like this place as the 2 staff people (Isabel & Darlene) we spoke to were extra nice & helpful. I can overlook old, heavy furniture, even peeling wallpaper, because the room was clean and bonus is window opened, but I'm there to sleep & we didn't get much of that! Must... More

Don't be put off by the lobby---when we stayed here the first time, I was taken aback by the furnishings.....but the beds are so comfortable, the water is hot and the people are friendly. Don't pass this one up. We have stayed here two times, had the same room with a king bed. It can be noisy early in the... More

Pretty basic accommodations in Watson Lake. I imagine its in the middle of the road for price. It was clean inside. The 70's sheets and curtains have a certain appeal. The dog-friendly policy was good. They were on the lower end of $ for the "pet charge". Wasn't noisy and we could park right in front of our room and... More
