Hotel Whistler

Très beau séjour dans un hotel très confortable au personnel serviable et aimable

Bel hôtel, près de tout, personnel compétent et souriant

Commençons par les points à améliorer: Un hôtel et un accueil moyen. De toutes petites fenêtres dans notre chambre, donc peu d'éclairage naturel. Nous avions un balcon mais l'accent était fermé suite à des rénovations. Accès à internet $$$ et le stationnement est payant (mais bon, on est à Whistler) Les points positifs: La localisation de l'endroit. Simplement à enfiler une paire d'espadrilles et vous êtes directement au centre de Whislter Le café gratuit à la réception qui était délicieux. Une grande chambre avec petite cuisinette incluse.

La gestion de l'hôtel est irréprochable, mais il n'y a pas d'ambiance. Le hot tub est clairement plus un trou d'eau chaude qu'un vrai hot tub. Il devrait transformer le resto en endroit sympathique pour 5à7 après ski ou randonnée.

Our first 2 nights, in room 406, were without sleep due to a faulty air conditioner unit that was noisy even when switched off. We were disappointed to learn that the problem was already known to the hotel prior to our arrival ( a hotel employee told us that the a/c unit had been changed at least twice before ). We did move rooms on the third day and were astounded to see that room 406 was occupied later that same day. Maybe the new occupants were given the same noisy fan heaters and bull as was given to us by the hotel management. For our trouble the hotel paid for the christmas buffet for our family - thank you. Overall the hotel was good, with a solid 3 out of 5 for the accommodation, albeit old fashioned and in need of modernisation. Most members of staff were OK, however, the concierge staff were consistently very good. Food in the hotel was very good. One thing to note about Whistler, and perhaps north America and Canada, is that "Fine dining" is anything that has vegetables and is not served with orange cheese in a burger bun. I would advise visitors to avoid restaurants such as "Il Caminetto" where service is worse than here in France and food is no better than a cheap tradesman's restaurant at lunchtime. Staff hurry around the place like bluebottle flies creating currents of air that chill the atmosphere. Conversation is difficult (everywhere), mostly due to the fact that people shout at each other - why ? Eat at the Keg instead - great food and value.

Nous étions 6, donc 3 chambres. Très confortable, à 1mn à pied du centre de Whistler station magnifique. Parking (payant), petit déjeuner inclus... Bref à recommander vraiment.
