bike rentals, a communal cabin, plus the funkiest bathhouse going.

The cheapest place right downtown is the shockingly pink Westminster Hotel (975 3rd
Ave., 867/993-5463, www.thewestminsterhotel-1898.com ) , where very basic rooms with
shared bath go for $45-55 s, $55-65 d. The Westminster is definitely not for everyone, and
it helps to be a heavy sleeper, as the downstairs bar gets noisy Friday-Saturday when the
country house band gets going.
$100-150
In addition to having great breakfasts, M Klondike Kate's (corner 3rd Ave. and King St.,
867/993-6527, www.klondikekates.ca , Apr.-Sept., $140-200 s or d) has 15 spacious wood
cabins, each with a bathroom, cable TV, wireless Internet, and a private deck.
Next to the museum, 5th Avenue B&B (702 5th Ave., 867/993-5941 or 866/631-5237,
www.5thavebandb.com , $105-135 s, $115-145 d) may have an uninspiring name, but the
aquamarine exterior is impossible to miss. It features seven comfortable guest rooms with
shared or private baths and a large sitting area. Rates include all-you-can-eat continental
breakfast.
Fun and funky on the outside, the Downtown Hotel (corner Queen St. and 2nd Ave.,
867/993-5346 or 867/993-5346, www.downtownhotel.ca , $118 s, $133 d) is a modern
building designed with a distinctive Gold-Rush-era façade. Although the guest rooms are
somewhat clinical, it's close to everything, and the on-site bar has a rocking nighttime at-
mosphere.
