The Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler

This hotel is huge and spacious. The suite had all amenities including a full kitchen and kitchenettes. It even had a comfy balcony and a cozy fire place. My kids loved the queen size sofa bed and the 42 inches flat screen TV. The washroom and bath were spacious and included shampoo, conditioner and body wash and enough towels. The king bed was in a separate room for privacy and this was one of the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. The reception area is huge and all the different levels has restaurants and there was a heated pool. The hotel is located like 5 minutes from a grocery store, which was convenient and they had valet parking for just a few extra dollars. Right up the street had tje gondola and Whistler village  centre, which we walked even though we had our own vehicle. Overall, I would stay here again and I highly recommend this accommodation. The check in and check out process was smooth and the reception was polite and kind. We were actually given a welcome card along with chocolates, cookies and ice cream pkus bottled water ☺️ PS: My 70 year old mom went to the on site spa and had her first full body massage, she loved it!

I have been travelling over 10 oversea ski resorts/hotels and here was a unique experience. As always, something was good and something was bad. Good things; 1) Location: one of the best hotel to get to the gondola/lifts. No doubts about this. 2) Wide underground parking area 3) Cooking facilities in room 4) Easy access to restaurants and shops 5) Nice sauna and swimming pool Bad things; 1) Too expensive for its overall service and facilities. Actually all hotels in whistler are overrated. 2) Strong Aussie accent from front staff. Very difficult to listen. 3) Strange bellboy service system in this hotel. They never allow for me to use the "tray" to move my items. They basically monoply all transportant within the hotel. And I can never "borrow" any tray for my own transportation. They are the great "gate keepers" of this hotel. 4) 11 CAD $/ day is a bit expensive for ski strage. Most Japan and European resorts provide ski storage room and guests store them selves. Possibly many of those bad things would be the systematic problem of whole whistler resort, not only the problem of this specific hotel. So I will visit either Europe of Japan for my next ski travel rather than north America which is too much crowded and too much overrated.

I had a great experience at Westin. The room was spacious and clean, packed with amenities and a kitchenette. The restaurant in the hotel provided great meals, attentive service and fair prices. If you like swimming, they have a pool that extends from the inside to the outside. Of course, they also have their famous large hot tubs both indoors and outdoors that everybody visits and loves. 5/5.
