Hotel Review of the Best
Western Listel Whistler Hotel
Mar 9, 2010
we stayed 2 nights in this hotel. Thought the room was spacious, clean and
functional. We really appreciated the free internet access in the lobby. I would
stay there again if passing by Whistler.

Very big room. Nice bathroom. Very close to the Village and the gondolas (5
minutes walking). Haven't try the restaurant for dinner (too expensive) just for
the breakfast and it was not very good.

I came from Hong Kong to visit my parents and they help me to join a 2-days
local tour to Whistler on 24-Dec. The hotel location is great as it is closed to
most places we need. The service desk is helpful as they remind us to have a
booking for dinner when we check in -- as the day is Xmas eve. They also suggest
a nice steak house (he even mentioned that it is not the best at Whistler, but
still a good one) just next to our hotel as we have a 7-years old kid. Although
the earliest time we can find is 8:30pm, it is just great as we can walk around
the village and have a short rest before for the guest dinner.
There is a Acer laptop at the lobby with a printer attached -- which is great
for me as I forgot to bring my netbook.
Anyway, this is another nice Best Western hotel I visit

Good: short walk to the Whistler Gondola, restaurants and shopping; underground
covered parking, storage of skis on site, free newspaper, free wifi.
Bad: parking fee, carpet is worn, slow wifi, maid knocked on the door at 8:30am
to clean the room.
Generally, the restaurants in this area are pricey but you can save some bucks
by either getting your meals from the local grocery store which is in the middle
of the village or trying some of the more value oriented restaurants such as The
Spaghetti Factory or The White Spot.

I stayed at this property for 5 days recently. The price was very reasonable,
and the location very central and convenient. The rooms are basic, and are not
exactly "new" but they were good enough for my purposes. I found them to be
clean and really that is all I was looking for. If you are looking for anything
at all beyond a place to leave your things and catch some sleep, this may not be
the best choice for you.

After checking out the other hotels in the area we chose the BW. The rooms are a
little on the small side and have been well used, but compared to the prices
being charged at the nearby hotels it represents good value for money. We ate in
the hotel restaurant, the Bearfoot Bistro. That was a strange experience. The
food could not have been bettered in both quality, presentation and value for
money, but almost as much time was used up by various members of the waiting
staff checking that all was well as we spent actually eating it. Be warned if
you like a bottle of wine. The wine list runs to over a hundred pages. It would
be cheaper to spend a month in the hotel than buy one bottle of some of the
wines I found. What I did not find was a reasonably priced wine. Some of the
names I recognised from other restaurants, but not the prices - they were at
least double. There may have been something I was prepared to buy, but life is
too short.Hotel Review of the Best

Close to the facilities I needed to be at. I was satisfied with my hotel and
stay. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The location was excellent.
Although parking was extra I would recommend this hotel to anyone, family,
conference or solo traveler.

The front staff and manager were incredibly helpful. Initially our room was
unavailable only because the previous guests destroyed the room. The situation
was rectified for us. This hotel is a decent place to stay for the price. It is
very close to whistler gondola, and very close to the entire whistler stroll.
The Barefoot Bistro in the Hotel is amazing expensive, but very good. The
regular rooms are average hotel rooms, nothing out of the ordinary, but the
suites are very nice. The front desk staff is quite accommodating. You do have
to pay 15.00 per night for parking.

Location was very close to everything. The staff was very nice and the food was
good. The parking rate was high and the breakfast was a little high. Very
convenient to the slopes and village. Everything was within walking distance
that could need. And the staff was very nice and helpful. I would recommend this
for anyone that wants a good rate with a great location.

My experience is the mirror image of another review in June of 2008 from
Huntington Beach, CA. We booked for two days by phone. No special policies were
mentioned by the hotel agent--nor were any policies cited in the advertising
write up about the property. Our daughter got sick in Seattle. We had to call to
delay our trip, cutting our Whistler stay to only one day. Our cancellation call
was about 6-8 hours before our stay. Literally traveling the world as we do, we
have come to expect that cancellations can be made a few hours beforehand a
reservation--especially if they are made by credit card.
Upon calling to cancel, the hotel clerk stated that they had a 48-hour
cancellation rule and we would have to pay for the canceled night. We went ahead
and traveled to Whistler and spoke the manager on duty, assuming we could
explain why were had to cancel. It made little difference; she was adamant about
their policy and finally allowed to have us pay for half the room price.
So, as far as we were concerned, we ended up paying 150% rate for a room. My
wife now simple hates the memory of Whistler, Canada even though I am sure it is
a delightful place.
