Hotel Review of the Delta Whistler Village Suites
Sep 5, 2010
We stayed here the last weekend Whistler is really happening in the summer and
had a great stay. The hotel is very nice and the staff is AMAZING. I love that
this hotel is right next to the Elephant & Castle and its also right on the
Village stroll so it's near everything. The hotel was pretty cheap for Summer -
$159/night. We enjoyed the pool and hot tubs as well. The ONLY downfall to this
hotel is that it is RIGHT in the village which means it can be noisy at night.
Bars let out around 1AM which means all the drunk folks are out in the street
about that time. I recommend massages at the Pan Pacific Spa.

Clean ,good value (for Whistler!) helpful pleasant staff. We had a family suite
with 2 bedrooms and a kitchen which was v well stocked Also had washing machine
v useful when you travel with kids ! Great position for eating out in evening
and getting about to activities (in summer) during day. We went in summer so as
a ski resort hotel in winter wouldn't know how good it would be ,but if our saty
was anything to go by it would be excellent. We would go again

Absolutely brilliant staff - attended to our every need with no fuss whatsoever.
The room was perfect, and in a perfect location. We would definitely stay there
again and would highly recommend it.

lots of knowledgeable and friendly staff.
suite was fine - though not huge - once we re arranged the furniture it was
better!
Kitchen was not of very high standard, and will shortly show its age
balcony overlooking quiet side street was nice as it was hot
sofa bed in living area could do with a new mattress - clean but just
uncomfortable.
parking an expensive surprise - but efficient
Pool and jacuzzi a bonus but not a reason to stay. This is not the most
luxurious place but is a very good clean comfortable base for an active time in
Whistler
Very good location.

We noted a quirk or two, but none of the complaints previous reviewers reported.
Then, again, we were only there one night, so perhaps we should come back for a
longer stay (and we will). With our NY cousins, we needed two full baths and the
two-bedroom suite served our purposes nicely and was less expensive than booking
separate rooms. Interestingly, the two bedroom suite had two separate doors off
of a small entry area, with keys needed for the entry and both doors. One side
of the suite was a one bedroom set-up, with the living room, kitchen and laundry
areas all in the other part of the suite. We flipped a coin and my wife and I
got the bigger portion.
The separate doors played parts in a couple of funny incidents. A hotel rep came
to our room right after arrival with a welcome gift of one bottle of water and
one apple. When he knocked on our door, our cousin also answered his, since it
couldn't be determined which door was being knocked. There was no explanation of
how four people would share the water or the apple. A few minutes later, one of
the housekeeping staff knocked on the door (with the same simultaneous response)
with another welcome gift bottle of water. Faced with multiple door openings,
she graciously blessed us all with individual bottles of water.
Check-in went fine, except for the difficulty we had in finding the self-parking
area in the underground cavern that serves more than one hotel. We had to double
back to the reception area to clarify the directions...but that was not a big
matter and we soon had the route figured out. Everyone at the front desk was
friendly, efficient and helpful. (By the way, we had no problem finding a
luggage cart.)
The view from our balconies was fantastic. My cousin referred to Whistler
Village as "Alice in Wonderland." We spent most of the day on the Village
Stroll, enjoying the buskers, people watching, checking out all the shops and
marvelling at the mountain bikers coming down the ski slopes (never saw a single
one fall and we were impressed with the specialized attire they all seemed to be
able to afford). Due to time constraint and a bit of fear of heights on the part
of one in the party, we didn't do the ski lifts and the peak to peak tram (but
will do so next time).
Found a great soup & sandwich place for lunch (thanks to a tip from the hotel
front desk personnel) and had dinner at Dubh Linn Gate Irish Pub. Left early the
next morning to have breakfast at Chef Big D's in Squamish enroute to Vancouver.
All in all, it was a quick, but most enjoyable visit...

You step out of this hotel and you are right in the village. The service, staff,
rooms, pools were wonderful. The grocery store is a 3 min. walk including all
other attractions. You can rent a bike from the hotel itself and enjoy the day.
We stayed here for a week and never used our car at all for the whole week.
Everything is within walking distance. It was great. We had a two bedroom unit
with a kitchen that was well stocked i.e. dishwashing powder, dishwashing
liquid, washer/dryer, including laundry detergent. I was bit surprised. All you
needed to buy was the food and cook. Everything was there including kitchen
cloths - towels etc.

Easy to get to, easy underground parking, helpful and friendly reception and
greeting staff. We arrived early and there was no problem checking in. Whistler
village and all its attractions are right on your doorstep but did not intrude
on our peace and quiet whilst in the hotel. Excellent, roomy, well equipped
suites. Very clean, everything looked very new. A small enclosed pool area
includes hot tubs to ease away the days exercise aches. We would recommend this
hotel if you are visiting Whistler at any time of year.

We thought we were safe with this hotel because we looked at the "peak rating"
on the Whistler Central Reservations and it was 4 stars. We choose it because
they seemed geared to kids and the excellent location. This was a mistake. Upon
arrival it took us a good 10 minutes to be acknowledged so we could check in,
there are no luggage carts to use although the bell men are very good and tried
to make up for the attitudes and non helpful nature of reception. The hot tub
was closed, the rooms are small, but very clean. The tiles need replaced in the
pool and the hot tub needs to be opened. You can not spend time at the pool as
there are not enough loungers. We didn't receive a child pack, as promised on
the website. Every time we approached the concierge or the reception we had to
wait at least 20 minutes to ask our question.
We needed to leave one day early because of my 3 year old and even though I
asked about this 2 days early, they said that I would be billed the full amount
of my original reservation. After speaking to the Revenue Manager we were
allowed to leave one day early. I understand their policy but it was the
attitude, that went along with the request.
We visit Whistler at least 3 times a year and usually stay at the Westin or
Hilton. It is well worth the extra money, and not being in the center of the
village to have the little extras such as, all the TV Channels, a DVD player,
internet, helpful and friendly staff, luggage racks etc. |
