Some pros, some cons, but overall a great stay.
Firstly, don't book a mountain view room. We did, because it guaranteed a balcony (same price as Lake View), but it was literally a view of a parking lot, and it was too cold to use the balcony anyway lol. Lake view would be much, much nicer.
The room we had was facing another room (we were 318, facing suite 218, which had a HUGE balcony) and that room had a party one night with 20 people sitting and drinking and laughing on their balcony. Normally not an issue, but I'm pregnant, and so "late night" for me isn't that late...I had noted a month earlier when I booked the room that I wanted a QUIET room, so they should have anticipated this, because as it turns out, it was a party booked through the hotel, so they knew they'd be out there drinking etc. When I called down to ask when the party would be done, so at least I'd know when the quiet would occur, they couldn't really tell me - it took me three phone calls down to finally get a real answer, which is all I wanted.
Then, that same night, I noted the foot of light shining in from the parking lot/street into the room. It drove me nuts. I didn't sleep AT ALL. This time I wrote in to guest services and Sam came in the morning to help us (thanks, Sam!). She was great, really cared about our experience and making sure everything from then on was going to be okay. I really appreciate when customer service cares, especially after a rotten experience in Vancouver, so I was thankful for her. After that, the experience was really great. We loved the living room/tv set up, the tub was fantastic, and the location turned out amazing - we walked the Valley trail to Whistler Village and saw black bears! We had dinner at Red Door Bistro next door, and every morning we could grab delicious food and drinks at the cafe located in the hotel (check in deal for 15%, Yelpers!!!). Overall, I would still recommend this hotel because I know if there was an issue, they would make sure to fix it. oh! And get take out from Creekbread, it's like 3 minute walk away. Way nicer than staying in over saturated and busy Whistler village!
The spa is fantastic as well.
