My wife and I stayed at the Raven Inn about a week ago while visiting Whitehorse for an aurora-viewing weekend getaway. Despite a number of positive reviews, we were a bit disappointed by our experience. The property is fairly new and modern, and the room was clean and functional, though rather small and in no way luxurious. Oddly, no shampoo was provided, only a small bar of hard soap. While we’ve become somewhat accustomed to reduced housekeeping schedules post-COVID, there was no mention of such before or during check-in, yet our room was not cleaned and towels/tiny bar of soap were not refreshed. Our only interaction with staff was at the front desk, and I can only describe the employees we met as unenthusiastic- not unpleasant, but certainly not hospitable. Finally, due to a changed flight, we had to leave a day earlier than planned. I requested a refund- even partial- for our final, third night from management but was told that cancellation required notice 48 hours prior to arrival. I explained that this was early departure and not cancellation, even pointing out that our room had not even been serviced while we were there, but they would not budge. The bottom line: this is a decent property in a decent location with lackluster service and, in my opinion, an unwillingness to accommodate the changing needs of their guests. I also feel that it’s overpriced. There are better options in town.
