Hotel Review of the Crystal Lodge Hotel

We stayed for 4 nights in room 222. Th location was great but that was about it.
Our room was extremely small, and our friends who booked at the same time for
the same rate, had a much nicer room. During our stay our door lock broke, and
we had to wait to get back into our room, and after complaining about the noisy
room next to us we were told that they would follow up with us. The 2 and 3rd
nigh were just as loud as the first. Beds not very comfortable. It may have just
been that room, so avoid RM 222 at all costs.

The Crystal Lodge is located in a very convenient location for skiers and
visitors. It is just a 3 to 4 minute walk to the Whistler Gondola. It's also
located right next to the central pedestrian corridor for Whistler Village so
shops and restaurants are very close by.
All the staff at the hotel (front desk, housekeeping, room service) we met were
friendly, courteous and polite.
There are plenty of food options at the hotel: a couple of restaurants, a
tapas/drinks lounge, a pub style lounge and a couple of coffee outlets
(Starbucks, Second Cup).
We stayed in 1 bedroom on what's known as the "Hotel Wing" of the hotel. The
suite was clean, cozy and fine for our weekend stay. However, we had a toilet
that would frequently keep running and the noise you can hear from the hallway
and other suites is very noticeable. As well, even with our window closed there
is a lot of noise that is heard from the main pedestrian thoroughfare that our
suite looked down onto.
If it weren't for the noise I would highly recommend this hotel. If you're
looking to party I guess the noise won't bother you but if you're looking for a
peace and quiet consider other options.Hotel Review of the Crystal Lodge Hotel

We booked a two-bedroom, two-bathroom room for one night. The room was huge and
made for a great time together as a family (parents & two adult children). The
room had a nice balcony with a view of the slopes. The room had a fully equipped
kitchen, dining area, fireplace and was very clean. My only caution would be the
street noise. Nights in Whistler Village are lively (even in October) and if you
go to bed early expect to hear those who don't on their way back to their hotel.
I don't think the Crystal Lodge is worse than any other hotel in this regard -
just a general warning about Whistler Village.

We rented two rooms - they were both small, and sparsely furnished.
The mini-bars (actually baskets - there are no refrigerators) offer Gallo wine.
The TVs are tube types. The desks are round, wooden cafeteria tables. The room
was small, the showers loud and the bathrooms worn. The in-hotel restaurant is
The Old Spaghetti Factory.
Yes, the hotel is centrally located.

Perfect location Right in the center of the village. Room was rather small.
Crystal Lodge is a beautiful property located right on the "stroll" in the
center of the village of Whistler. The room was small but pretty. Parking was an
unexpected extra cost and located under the hotel - rather difficult to
negotiate the tight spaces. LOVED the location of this hotel!!!

Fantastic place to stay! We stayed in the loft suite with our two children and
could not be happier. 2 minute walk to the Whistler Gondola, excellent
restaurants and a Starbucks in the hotel. Plenty of shops in the village. The
suite had a kitchenette and we had several meals in the room to save on money.
Extremely clean and cozy with a great view of the slopes. We would stay here
again. Excellent outdoor heated pool and hottub!

The Crystal Lodge surpassed our expectations in Whistler. Their newly renovated
Deluxe Rooms were top knotch and comparable to any high end hotel in town. You
can't beat the location, as well as all of the shops and restaurants on site.
The most impressive thing was the staff, they make such a difference ! One small
issues, the wireless internet service was being installed when we were
there...and had an interruption of service during this time. Overall though -
outstanding !

We stayed at the Crystal Hotel in Whistler. Our first trip there. Loved that it
was right in the Village with lots of shops and restaurants. We had the Suite
with a fireplace and jetted tub. Very nice, comfy bed. Would definitely stay
there again. Beware thou, restaurants prices in Whistler are about double the
price of food in the US. Hotel Review of the Crystal Lodge Hotel

Excellent location, steps to gondola, chair lifts and restaurants. We spent our
first night in their least expensive room , stayed awake to the street noise
until 3 AM and couldn't wait to leave. Next morning talked to Rachel from
England, the Front Desk Manager at the Crystal Hotel in Whistler. She was
professional and helpful. Moved us to an upgraded room in the quiet section with
free parking and did not charge us for the first night. Thank you, Rachel! |
