The George Dawson Inn & Conference Centre

I will start by saying that we stay in DC each year at the same time. They’re all equally as expensive and a terrible rip off for what they are and what the town has to offer. We have stayed at almost every hotel in DC and this one was the absolute worst. I always make sure that we can reserve a room with a pull out couch for our daughter to sleep on in a separated area so she is able to go to sleep at a normal time while allowing the adults to also go to sleep at a normal time. I called almost two months in advance and found a room that was perfect for us. The front desk was kind enough to go into the room to make sure it was the correct one as they don’t have many of them. I then gave them my CC and reserved the room for two nights. We arrived at the hotel and they have let me know that our room has been given away and has been in use for a month and will continue to be used. I was mad. I was super nice to the front desk lady as it was not her fault but I was mad. She then tells me they can give me a free dinner and a discount on the room. I tell her that is fine and all but we now don’t have a space for our daughter to sleep. The room didn’t even have a pull out couch. They basically told me that even though I did everything in my power to secure the hotel room we needed that they don’t hold true to their reservations and that we’re screwed. We were never given a free dinner and were offered $22 off our entire stay. I was disgusted. To top it off the reviews on this hotel give it a “don’t judge a book by its cover” feel. DO judge this book by its cover. The hotel was absolutely disgusting. Stained. Stunk. Our bathtub didn’t plug didn’t close. And then it clearly needs to be cleaned because the water would pool around your ankles when you had a shower. The furniture was disgusting and I didn’t want to touch any of it to my bare skin. I made sure we all slept fully clothed each night. We didn’t pull the sheets down to sleep under the covers. None of the coffee lids fit the cups in the room nor the lobby. Spilled coffee everywhere. To top off our horrible stay I was woken up by loud yelling at 3am to look outside and see the cops taking some character into their vehicle. They allowed him to scream and yell with their door open. Then the ambulance came and more chaos ensued. This hotel has its normal rig workers in it but also seemed to cater to junkies. I honestly was horrified and hated that we had no other option while with our child. The front desk girl claimed to have pull within the hotel but clearly didn’t and was zero help in the end. She was polite but didn’t seem concerned with any of my concerns. The one positive about this hotel is the breakfast. The waitress was extremely polite and very nice. Food was good. But not good enough to have me ever stay again. DC is an absolute hole of a town and it would be wonderful if they had a few hotels that weren’t absolutely disgusting. I will be contacting the owner of the hotel as the manager off

we would love to thank everyone at the George Dawson inn for helping us out because we were evacuated from tumbler ridge last Thursday , we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the hospitality . we recommend the George Dawson inn to everyone . thank you again from the bottom of our hearts .sincerely Katie Wilde and Jonathan Steltz

Terrible service… friends confirmed with a manager of a change in rooms as they had won a nights stay…asked if they could just get two rooms instead of the suite…yes was the answer.. no problem… day of check in it became a nightmare…would not honour the gift certificate….accused my friends of changing the expiration date… friends asked to speak to the manager and manager would not talk to them…explanation back to my friends was. ..it was under new management ……needless to say had to find other accommodations and NOT at the George Dawson Inn….

Outside of the building looks dull and gives a poor impression of the updates inside . Very clean , comfortable beds and quiet . Attached restaurant offers a free breakfast for each guest stay. We are so happy we tried this place and would absolutely come again . Only have a four star because of the outside appearance which really didn’t affect our stay

Tracey and the staff were amazing. The room was cozy and very clean. The restaurant had really good food and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely be staying here again and would give them more stars if we could. Thank to all of them for making a rough trip easier.

Exceptional value in Dawson Creek considering the price includes a served full sit-down breakfast. All staff were professional, friendly, polite and helpful - in the top 10% of all our travels in 50 years. The beds are comfy. The room was big. The hotel is slightly dated but everything worked and it is spotlessly clean. We highly recommend the GDI without hesitation.
