Blackcomb Lodge

I'm sure many people come to Whistler year after year and know exactly where to stay for the things they want in a ski vacation. For those who are coming for the first time, be aware that Whistler Village is active! If you want to ski all day and party into the night, this is a great place for you, but if you are on a family trip with kids, beware. We arrived late, probably midnight, after a long drive. After some difficulty finding our reservation (made through this site), we finally got to our room (1st floor corner, facing the square) and got to sleep for about 1 hour when the music got loud enough to wake us; not faintly in the distance, but right under the window, thumping bass. This ended when the clubs closed, probably around 2am, when everyone in the club gathered right outside and continued to party for another hour, at the tops of their lungs. We asked to be moved, and to their credit, the staff accommodated us the next day. The 1-2am music continued to be audible, but somewhat less so, and we no longer had to hear the crowd in the square afterward. Perhaps the hotel should make guests aware of this in advance. Another factor adding to the noise problem at the Lodge was the fact that the walls are paper-thin. While not as big an issue as the music/crowd noise, this was a bit of an annoyance due to our neighbor's extremely audible love of hockey. Overall, the hotel was average in most ways, mostly staffed by very young seasonal employees who are cheerful and nice, but somewhat out of their depth.

Check in at 4:00 p.m. would have been better at 3:00 p.m. and check out is a bit early at 10:00 a.m.

Check in at 4:00 p.m is later than I would have wanted and 10:00 a.m. was a bit early. Accomodations and service were overall good.

Great location and value. Price was excellent for the area and accommodations. (although parking was not included with cost of hotel) Within walking distance of most all major attractions. Great place to stay for a long duration, with all the comforts of home.

Steps from lifts, clubs, bars, grocery store, liquior store.

Blackcomb Lodge is located in the heart of the village & a perfect location. It is an easy walk to the gondola each morning (even carrying skis). There are plenty of restaurants near by + a liquor & grocery store next door. The lodge has underground parking available ($16 per night). There is an indoor pool and hot tub (without jets). The only down side is noise from the village square (not a fault of the hotel) - but can be annoying when you are trying to get some sleep & can hear music & party goers till 2am (ask for a room on the backside of the hotel - or at least on the 2nd Floor).

the location of the hotel is fantastic. However the room had trash in it when we arrived. Including a candy rapper in one of the beds. Never again!

The front desk staff were friendly and informative. However, the cleaning staff were sorely lacking in keeping up with the daily cleanup; trash was not emptied, toiletries were not replenished, bathrooms were not cleaned. In the US, every hotel we stayed at those chores were done on a daily basis. Overall, the rooms did not reflect the value we paid. The positive --location.

Staff was very helpful. Room clean and could not be more conveniently located. Travelled here for a short weekend with two kids. Walk to lifts is only a few short minutes.

After driving up from Vancouver on Friday the lodge was an easy place to check in to for the weekend which is centrally located in the village.
