Hotel Review of the Delta
Whistler Village Suites
Apr 12, 2010
Husband and I stayed 7 nights at the Delta in a one bedroom apartment. The
apartment is a good size with a well appointed kitchen and dining area. The
bedroom is extremely comfortable and spacious as is the well appointed bathroom.
There is good storage for clothes and ski gear within the apartment. The Delta
contains an excellent pool and three saunas plus an English style pub with pub
meals and a more elegant New York style steak restaurant. Perhaps the best
feature is Delta's superb service provided by friendly. courteous, helpful,
well-informed staff. They are absolutely outstanding. Delta provides its own
shuttle service to the bottom of the gondolas. Most importantly they provide an
extremely frequent pickup service to collect tired skiers and boarders from
12.30pm through to about 5pm. Nothing better to see at the end of the ski day is
the Delta shuttle and friendly and helpful Delta driver.
Previously at Whistler we had stayed at another property - which was merely
adequate rather than the outstanding Delta.

Could barely fault this hotel. We had a fantastic, relaxed stay. We travelled
with 3 skiers and 1 non-skier and everyone's needs were catered for. The ski
hire was so convenient. We travelled from New Zealand and were able to hire our
skis online via the Delta Whistler Suites website. The hire room was right at
the hotel and each day skis were stored at the bottom of the gondola which made
it super easy to make the 5min walk from hotel to gondola and back. Service was
great, we had clean tidy rooms; welcoming reception and helpful concierge.
Having washer and dryer, and kitchen facilities in our room was so helpful, and
the fire place was an added bonus. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Spent 2 weeks in the Delta Whistler Village Suites and enjoyed every minute. The
location was perfect and the staff were all extremely friendly - especially the
staff on the free shuttle bus. It was also great having free ski storage in the
ski shop at reception whose staff were always eager to give advice and find out
about your day on the hill.
I would definitely recommend staying here and when we go back to Whistler this
will definitely be our first choice of accommodation.

Delta Whistler Village Suites is the hotel I stay at every time I make my twice
yearly trip to Whistler (summer and winter). I've stayed at other hotels within
the Village and Blackcomb and none compares with the location, comfort,
amenities and friendly staff. Within the hotel, you have a world class full
service spa, two restaurants. Outside the hotel, within a five minute walk, you
will fine a huge grocery store, multiple restaurants of every ethnicity you
could imagine, nightlife, lattes, seasonal stores (ski, golf, swim, bike, etc),
a library, cultural center, buses, free shuttle to the mountains, movie theater,
excellent shopping, etc. A ten minute walk will take you to the base of Whistler
for skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and serious snow sledding. Fifteen
minute walk will take you to Blackcomb which offers its own array of
entertainment. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and ready to make your stay
at Whistler the best. And best of all, you can drive straight up to the door!
Most of the other facilities at Whistler left me wandering around the village
wondering where the entrance is located let alone how to find the parking--a
real problem! I recommend DWVS to anyone coming to Whistler!!!

I've stayed in hotels all over the world and consider myself quite picky (see my
review of the dreadful place we stayed in at Courchevel last year...) and I
thought the Delta Whistler was great. The room was spacious (we paid for a 1
bedroom suite) and kept spotlessly clean , the staff were excellent, the pool
and fitness room were adequate (certainly lot better than other similar hotels).
The restaurant didn't open until towards the end of our stay so we can't rate it
but then we went early in the season (11th December). The location was good, at
one end of the village; we didn't use the shuttle bus but instead rented ski and
boot storage close to the gondola so just had a short stroll through the village
in the morning (less than 10 minutes). Our only bad experience was noise; 200
American students were also in the hotel during our first week; they were less
than considerate when coming back from partying on 2 nights but after we
complained they were warned and we had no further problems; also with the snow
clearing equipment in the village square in the morning but if like us you're
relatively early risers it shouldn't be a problem.

Stayed in the off season, so the rooms were cheaper. Standard boxy rooms for the
cheaper ones. Nice facilities. Close to the nightlife. A place to go back to
sleep when you are finished with the out door activities. The spa and sauna was
a delightful treat, compared to other hotels at the same prices, which where
complete dives, in other parts of BC.

Front desk staff was very knowledgeable and helpful, they upgraded our room in
no time and made checking in and out very quick and easy, that would be the most
positive experience we had. Room cleanliness is terrible, as we laid in bed
first night we noticed some "stuff" on the headboard. We cleaned it ourselves
and tried not to think about it. There is so much dust on top of the curtain
boards that over flows on the sides and you can see it from anywhere in the
room. As well under the night tables it looks as though it has not been vacuumed
in weeks. My son had to sleep on the couch bed and the sheets had holes in them
and looked overly used. Coffee maker had water already in it which I did not
notice, so first morning when I tried to put water for coffee it over flowed
everywhere. I had to clean everything and replace the water just to find that
the coffee maker does not work. We waited 45 mins. for another coffee maker.
Faucet handle in the shower broke in pieces, luckily for us was the last shower.
Carpet in the corridor on our floor was visibly damaged and discolored in a
couple of places (it makes you feel like you are not staying in a nice place).
If you want to go to the pool or hot tub you have to walk through the common
area on the main floor in your robes and bump into skiers and the patrons of a
local hotel bar. Beside two flat screen tv's everything else in the suite looked
outdated and over used.
Food and service in the newly opened restaurant Elephant and Castle was good and
we really enjoyed it. My wife used the spa and she really liked it.

This hotel is beautiful and in a great location, but..... The workers are
clueless, the elevator did not work, the spa was closed without notice and they
make you pay for everything. Do NOT touch anything without asking the front desk
if there is a charge for it, For example, $24 to park, $13 for internet, $1.50
per local call, $2 for laundry soap even if your room has a washer, they charge
for everything.! Also, no food or pub in the hotel. For the price - you could do
much better.
