River View Hotel

Whitehorse


The floors sound hollow here, but many of the 53 rooms have the views implied by the name (ask for one) and all are large. It's close to everything, yet on a quiet street. Not a lot of character, but meets the needs if you're just after a convenient spot to lay your head.
