Hotel Review of the Whistler Village Inn & Suites
May 25, 2010
We chose to stay in a Queen loft room. The rooms have nice décor however
I think way too much furniture for the space. Thankfully there were only
two of us but anymore, you wouldn’t have been able to move. The balcony
was nice with a good view. The stairs to the loft were very creaky which
disturbed the other person during the night. The Queen bed was a little
smaller than a regular Queen, the mattress soft and we kept rolling in
to each other. Internet and parking were an additional cost. We paid for
one internet and were able to piggyback our second laptop off the first
connection so we got two for the price of one.
We arrived the last day of the Whistler ski season and the place was
packed. 2 hours later it was deserted. Blackcomb Mountain was still open
for another month and for sightseers they offered $20 ticket which got
us up the Gondola and Chairlift for a lovely view of the mountain.
Outstanding!

Good location but the bed was a Murphy bed and was NOT comfortable at
all. After a hard days skiing you want a real bed not a 4 inch box
spring set up.
Also - I left an expensive curling iron hanging in the closet to cool
off the morning we left. When I called later that day they claimed not
to have it. I know exactly where I left it and found it pretty appalling
that an expensive hotel like this has a theft issue.
We would not stay here again or advise anyone else to.

Fully equipped room, with hot-tub downstairs. (was in Powder lodge,
there is also a keg lodge across the driveway, but same hotel) .
You can walk to the lifts to either Whistler or Backcomb, in ski boots!
Quiet corner, no through traffic, and out of earshot of the Olympics
razzmatazz.
Casual, comfortable facilities, for self catering.

This Hotel was a decent value, close to the lifts, in the heart of the
village-an all around great location.
We only had one night there but would stay there again if we get that
way again
For the money we spent, it is a great hotel

Stayed here two nights in Jan 2010 with buddies. It was about $220 a
night with the supplemental charge for our third person -- I think this
is about the best value you'll find right in the village.
The location is excellent -- just 2-3 minute's walk to the gondola and
right in the middle of the action. The outdoor jacuzzi and small pool
were fine -- a nice rest after skiing and we didn't mind walking 20 feet
in the cold to relax. We booked a small room with three single beds, but
it was too small upon sight, and so upgraded to a loft. These are
excellent rooms -- especially for families in which the parents can
sleep up in the nice loft area, but still be in the same room as the
kids on the Murphy bed or pull-out couch below.
The small kitchen was perfect. The parking is right on site, but an
additional cost.
We had only two issues:
1. when we upgraded it was in part because our booked room had only two
beds and we needed three; because of this, we were promised a discount
on the upgrade. however, at check-out the discount was not reflected.
fortunately, though a young guy gave the discount, a fairly senior
person checked us out and was able to correct the error. we were very
satisfied with her resolution
2. part of the package included a two-day lift ticket that came with 1
bonus ticket. there was poor communication around this as we received
one physical ticket at check in. the holder of the ticket did not know
it was valid for two-days' skiing; he also did not receive the bonus
ticket from the hotel, but rather from "guest services" elsewhere in the
village. so, on Day 2, he obtained his bonus ticket and lined up for the
gondola. However, when we tried to board we were told that he held only
a ticket-shaped coupon for a ticket. so, he had to redeem this again for
a proper ticket (he was brought to the front of that line), delaying our
day. In the process, he learned that he had thrown out his half-used,
2-day pass. All was made well by the village staff, who were great!
however, it was frustrating to be promised three tickets and then
received a mish-mash of redeemable options, etc.
I would not pay $220 a night for this hotel outside of Whistler Village
and, say, Manhatten. However, when your alternatives are $400+, this is
excellent value, especially given that we saved more than $100 a night
by cooking dinner.

Delta suites were an absolute joy to be in. We had a great discount due to the
package we bought so it was a fantastic deal.
The rooms are immaculate, small apartment-styled with new furnishings, luxurious
bedding, new bathrooms and the room we stayed in had a fully equipped kitchen.
The maids are super nice and all greet you with a smile as you walk down the
hallways. Sheets are changed everyday, they always ask if you need towels. The
swimming pool/spa and gym are fantastic.
It felt like being right at home but right in the midst of Whistler, only a 10
minute walk to the ski lifts.
Unfortunately you do have to pay for wifi, and the restaurant in the hotel is a
bit pricey.
Absolutely recommend this place to anyone if you're looking for affordable
luxury in Whistler.
