Everything at the hotel was fine, clean and comfortable but we were very disappointed that so many of the attractions in Dawson City were closed even though the brochures and materials online indicated that everything was open for business mid May.
So, the museum, native interpretive centre, Diamond Gertie's show, Robert Service Cabin, Parks Canada walking tour, and the art gallery were ALL CLOSED when we were there for two days May 16 and 17 2016. The hotel staff were great but the proprietor was not sympathetic to our complaints that the main tourist attractions were closed. She said that she herself doesn't visit tourist attractions when she travels....so it shouldn't be such a big deal for us! Well, having travelled from Nova Scotia to the Yukon especially to see these attractions, we were dumfounded by this attitude. At the very least she should have taken our concerns seriously. In any event, the rest of the trip which included Whitehorse, Haines Junction and Carcross was incredible! Everything was open!!!!really worth the trip and we would go again! I think the proprietor of the Aurora needs an attitude check!
