About Dragon's Den Motel
Dragon's Den Motel is a simple, pet-friendly accommodation located in a quiet corner of Watson Lake. The motel offers quaint, old-fashioned rooms with double beds, and while the furniture and bedding are outdated, the rooms are consistently reported as clean and comfortable. Guests appreciate the spacious parking area and the presence of cable TV and reliable WiFi, which provide some entertainment during their stay. The motel is a convenient choice for travelers passing through, especially those needing pet-friendly options, as it allows dogs and offers helpful, friendly staff. Check-in is handled at Andrea’s hotel nearby, as the lobby and restaurant at Dragon’s Den are often closed, which can be a minor inconvenience. The exterior of the building appears unkempt and the premises seem somewhat unmanaged, giving a rundown impression, though the inside is well-maintained. Guests suggest small improvements such as blackout curtains, towel hooks, and a communal area with a microwave and kettle to enhance comfort. Despite being on the pricier side due to limited local options, many guests find the price justified by the clean rooms, friendly service, and overall good value for a short resting place. Overall, Dragon’s Den Motel provides honest, basic accommodation for travelers seeking a quiet, well-kept place to stay.
This place is where you will stay when all three of the other hotels in town are full, which, according to the desk clerk happens quite frequently in Watson Lake during the summer. Sure, it's run down and needs refurbishing but provides the basics.

This was a nice hotel overall. You should get the keys at Andrea’s, which is open all night. The hotel is very convenient and dog-friendly.
August 2025
The other reviews are mostly accurate. Room was rough. Freezing cold and the only heat was a electric space heater that tripped the circuit breaker. Not many options in town.
