What guests think

Stratford Motel is a basic, centrally located budget property where many guests find clean rooms, comfortable beds, and friendly staff, but others note dated interiors, thin walls, noticeable smoke or cleaner odors, and temperature control issues.

Parking is convenient with spaces by the rooms, though larger vehicles may find it tight, and there is a laundry on site. A few guests mentioned a sketchy feel in the surrounding area and some nighttime noise outside. Overall, expect a no-frills, good-value stay if you prioritize price and location over modern finishes and strong soundproofing.

Convenient to downtown but old and run down. The stairs were dodgy and the laundry, frankly scary. The staff worked very hard and the rooms were clean. The wifi worked. A bit sketchy, but the price reflected that compared to other accommodations in Whitehorse.

This cute motel is right in downtown Whitehorse. The water was very hot and plentiful. If you bring a big vehicle, you need to know how to park it as the spaces are tight.

The area around the motel had a lot of traffic. Many run down buildings and wasn't very clean. Once inside the room is was very nice which is most important. The place was also very easy to find and parking right in front of my room.

I knew it would be old and that’s fine, but there is no fan in bathroom so it’s smells of mildew. There was a vent above toilet that dripped dirty water. Comforters were stained and had clumps of hair stuck to them. Walls are paper thin and can hear everything from neighbour’s room.

We stayed for four nights. Housekeeping did not make up our beds nor always empty our garbage. Bedding was old and scratchy. Baseboards were dirty and perhaps had black mold. Room was old and entire motel needs to be renovated. neighborhood was noisy at night.

The smoke detector was beeping, so the a new battery was brought up for me to replace, Beside table lamp was flickering so a new bulb was brought up and it work for a few minutes then was flickering again. We were tired to did not pursue it. Clearly the fixture is shorting out. The towels were stained and much more worn than what I would use on my car. Whitehorse is expensive. This place is appropriately priced for what you get. Check in and staff were fine.

The staff were helpful and the venue was close to downtown, but the motel reeked of cigarette smoke. It was supposed to be a nonsmoking room, but I may have been the only nonsmoking person to stay there in the history of the motel. The stench seeped into everything and it was difficult to breathe, much less sleep. If you're a smoker, you've found the hotel for you. If not, you might want to try somewhere else.

Staff were really friendly and stayed late to make sure I got checked in okay. It's a motel, so adjust expectations accordingly. The walls are super thin to the point I could hear snoring in one of the rooms nearby, but other than that it's good place to spend a night.

Average price for the area and walking distance to downtown sights, dinung and shops. Older motel with very basic rooms showing their age. Not great sound seperation betwwen rooms. Roku tv with lots of free channels: volume is on the side of the remote. Coffe maker, mini fridge, black out curtains. Decent water pressure in the shower but fixed showerhead. Overall, next time, with more choices available, I'd book something a little nicer for a few dollars more per night.
