While on an Alaskan bus tour with Sunshine Tours, we had to stay at this motel. Lets get the positives out of the way first. The staff was friendly and were glad we were there. The restaurant and staff were the best. The restaurant workers were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and reasonable. Now, lets get to... More

The Golden Bear Motel family has worked together for over ten years to provide the best accommodations possible to every one of our guests. Although we find it deeply regrettable that this particular stay was less than enjoyable, it is a great comfort to us that for the thousands, literally thousands, of guests our small family operation has welcomed to...

Just checked in at the motel an hour ago and are now eating at the great Fast Eddy's restaurant. Like most things in Alaska, the town is older and reflects it but the friendliness and service is great. The motel upgraded our reservation of a room with two queen beds to on with two kings and a single (for five)... More

We stayed at the Golden Bear Motel on our way to Dawson City and on the way back from Haines Junction. Upon arrival in Tok we found out that the Taylor Highway was closed the next day. We had to call our hotel in Dawson to let them know we would arrive a day late. The very very friendly lady... More

In September, many hotels close or lay off staff. The Golden Bear was fully open and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The desk suggested restaurants and was very friendly. We really enjoyed our stay. Try the Grumpy Griz for breakfast.

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... More

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.

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... More

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... More

Its an older hotel but I found it better then the Westin (across the street where we had stayed on an earlier trip.) Our room was located in a seperate building in the back.
