Hotel Review of the
Tantalus Lodge Whistler
Sep 29, 2010
We stayed at the Tantalus Lodge on the spur of the moment. We made the
arrangements through the Central Whistler booking number after spending
the day in Whistler. It was very inexpensive, but the suite was
beautiful! Full kitchen, dishwasher, and a porch looking directly at the
mountain! The staff was very friendly, and the pool and hot tubs were
clean and just the right temperatures. The only problem was the bed - it
was very uncomfortable (lumpy and hard), there was very little bedding
and pillows, and the sheets were not soft or comfy. We also had the
housekeeper walk into our room at 9:30 in the morning - it was a little
awkward! You also have to pay $16.00 for parking, but it's in a secured
underground lot. Great place - will probably stay again next summer!

The welcoming lobby has high beamed ceiling and rock fireplace. Check-in
was efficient. The halls are tired. The rooms are two bedroom full
suites with balcony, fireplace, micro, flat screen, kitchen, wall safe
etc. They are two bedroom condos with some owners locking out a bedroom
and bathroom. The walk to town is under 10 minutes. The rooms are dated
but totally adequate. There is an outdoor pool and hot tubs. It isn't
the Westin next door, but at $85/night it was more than OK. Wireless was
$4.95/24 hours. There is no restaurant or bar but some vending machines
for coffee and snacks.
I found the best deal through

I only needed one bedroom, but was booked into a two bedroom, two
bathroom rather tawdry suite. Their suggested price was $180/night, plus
taxes, plus $16 parking (outside). If I wanted internet, there was an
additional charge. The halls were worn, and most of the insuite
furniture was old, dated and in mediocre condition. The fireplace
required a $4 presto log, should a fire be needed.

Great location and not too expensive!
This was a last minute booking and the Tantalus Lodge turned out to be a
great choice. The location of the hotel was great with it being so close
to whistler village and the ski lifts making it a great choice. The
Hotel was fine and accommodated us well but could probably do with a
refresh in places. I would recommend this as a great location when
visiting Whistler, it has specious rooms and the Hotel service was
brilliant. It has a shuttle bus so you don’t have to carry your skis
which is a great option. Worth a visit if you are going skiing in
whistler.

Great hotel at a reasonable price
Would definitely recommend this hotel. Best part was the two outdoor hot
tubs and swimming - we were lucky enough to have it snow on top of us
while we were in them!

Booked with Blue Air Miles. I only needed one bedroom, but was booked
into a two bedroom, two bathroom rather tawdry suite. Their suggested
price was $180/night, plus taxes, plus $16 parking (outside). If I
wanted internet, there was an additional charge. The halls were worn,

We stay at all types of accommodations from luxury to budget and are not
particularly picky. The rooms here were very dirty. The bath towels had
dirt and smudges on them; it looked like perhaps the staff had re-folded
some used towels rather than replace them with fresh ones for the new
guests. Paint was peeling in various locations throughout the rooms---a
much smaller complaint compared to the overall dirtiness, but still. The
kitchen, and therefore the adjoining dining/living area had a peculiar,
unpleasant odour.
The location is in no way a "three minute walk" from the slopes, not
even for athletic, energetic people. The walk is uphill, and can't be
done in ski boots with or without gear. I would not stay here again,
regardless of the price.

I stayed here with a group of friends (in our 30s) and had the best
time. The location is perfect. Less than 5 minutes walk from the village
centre and lifts, but in a quieter location (I've stayed on the village
stroll before and was kept up at night by drunken idiots pouring out of
the bars and hollering round the village!). It also has a great sized
pool (rather than some teeny weenie ones like in some other properties).
The rooms themselves have recently been renovated and are really nice
and very clean. They are also a great size compared to other condos
we've been to.
It's also a relatively small property - so not hundreds and hundreds of
rooms.
I would definitely recommend this hotel and would definitely go back
again!
