Alpenglow Lodge

I stayed at the Alpenglow Lodge in February in a 1-​bedroom suite. I booked my room online and received a confirmation email stating the total price of the room. Needless to say I was shocked when I check my credit card to find an additional charge of $ 224 for what according to the hotel was an «extra person fee». I never agreed to a fee like this, and $ 224 for an extra person? Their policy even states than an extra person is charged at $ 15 per night. We stayed for 3 nights, so maybe we had 5 extra people staying in the room I was unaware of (we actually had 1).
Be very careful of giving Alpenglow Lodge your credit card info. The dispute process through my credit card company has been a real headache.

Clean, sparse, and much smaller than anticipated. We got the largest unit and it was still cramped. It had heat throughout; but, air conditioning was only in the master bedroom. Staff is on site day and early evening only. At night, front desk is empty. Maid service comes only 1x per 7-​day stay.
Info:
Parking underground for $ 15 per day.
Take a taxi cab to the slopes for $ 7.
Furniture Warehouse has great food for $ 4.95 a plate and it’s only 2 minutes away.
Canada is a speed trap with speed limits set artificially low and Patrol officers everywhere with radar guns… be careful while driving. You will laugh hysterically wondering why speed limits are so low in some areas and so much higher in other areas that make no sense, randomly. It’s to nail you and charge you for a ticket!
This should be considered a budget accomodation for those who want a clean low price place to stay with minimal services and no luxuries.

While our particular condo was lovely (kudos to the owner — this review is not a reflection of that condo or him) but the building itself leaves much to be desired. For starters, the key card reader on the main door is broken so be sure you have your pass-​code memorized. Add this to the poorly lit community areas, poorly appointed gym and dated interior design and this place becomes more shabby than chic. The true downfall of this place was a particular experience we had: our group was locked (via deadbolt) outside while we were enjoying the hot tub… WTF. Someone from our group had to hop a 8ft+ high fence and let themselves in to the building via an alternate entrance. This resulted in the realization that not only was the exterior door locked but so was the interior door to the gym… double WTF. After 45 mins of wondering how we would all manage to clear the fence, a building security person was found and let us inside. What a nightmare. Had their been an emergency, this would have been beyond dangerous. All in all, be aware that while the condos themselves can be fab the building leaves much to be desired.

I just went up to Whistler for may long weekend with 3 of my friends. You really can’t beat the price for a location like this.
We got a one bedroom suite. The room was a bit small for all 4 of us but it was cozy and we made it work. Good kitchen with dishwasher and oven, our room was very clean. We definitely made use of the hot tub, pool, and sauna during our stay as well.
Pros: clean room, good price, good location, friendly staff, clean amenities, balcony in our room, quiet (for the most part), I liked how they locked the main doors through the night after 10pm… only residents with the code could open the door. It made me feel just that much more safe.
Cons: room was a tad squishy, instead of room keys they have a code you have to punch in to get into your room… kind of annoying.
Overall if I’m sharing with one other person I would probably stay here again! 4 people next time we might have to go for the 2 bedroom so there’s a bit more space. Would recommend this place if you’re looking for an affordable yet somewhat central stay in Whistler Village!

I was looking for a centrally located but affordable lodging option in Whistler Village for a trip with my girlfriend. I contacted Christina with MountainView Accommodations. She was absolutely excellent. Even making the reservations was a pleasant experience.
The lodge itself is located on the northern end of the Village, making it walking distance to everything (though I would suggest the shuttle that is a 2 minute walk away to go to the gondolas). The lodge was well maintained and inviting and was updated and modern. There are countless restaurants within a 5 minute walk and the grocery store is 2 minutes away.
Our room was excellent. It too was well-​maintained and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom were spotless. We had a large balcony (more of a patio) that had a view of Whistler Mountain. We had a queen bed as well as a murphy bed that doubled as a table when it was stored. There was a gas fireplace that was well used, if not so much for heat, but for ambiance.
This was our engagement trip and Christina, upon request, suggested locations to pop the question as well as excellent restaurants to celebrate afterwards. She even made the dinner reservations for me. Everything was perfect!
I have noticed mixed reviews through a few websites but I have nothing to say short of excellent about our 5 night stay at the Alpenglow Lodge and the hospitality that we received before and during our stay.
I can say without a doubt that we intend on returning next year to Alpenglow and I wish I still had it to look forward to this year.

My wife & I were slightly apprehensive after reading a couple of reviews but because of the price & location in the village we decided to give I a try. We loved it very much, very cozy room, loved the Murphy bed concept which made plenty of room for sofa & coffee table for watching TV. Full service kitchen for late night snacks. Morning coffee taste great as they provided a single up Keurig, so much better than those crappy two cup coffee brewers in most hotels. Shower was awesome great after ll day walking in summer heat. Location fantastic easy walk to any choice of restaurants, never moved the car three days. Staff are fantastic concerned about our being happy, especially Tanya — she is so pleasant & helpful. We loved it.

First things first these are Condos not a Hotel. So potentially each room can be different depending on the owner. That being said I book through Resort-​Quest so if that’s who you booked through then you experience may be similar. Also the staff in the building were very helpful and pleasant.
This is your standard foot on the ground room. Meaning hurray you are in whistler and you have a roof.
I am convinced that it was not a queen sized bed as I payed for but something between a double and a queen. My wife and I took turns sleeping on the couch.
Speaking of, the couch was gross. There were stains on it and I would not have slept on it were we not so tired from my international flights.
With all that off my chest I think the building is great, with the pool and the gym and the views. But hey it is whistler, I mean the view from the dumpster would be pretty awesome too. The location is good, its a 10 – 15 minute stroll to the main drag towards the lifts. there are lots of things in the immediate area in terms of utility but all the good stuff is just a little away. Since we were traveling with family we had to meet them in the thick of it which added a little frustration but it was manageable.

Went to Whistler and stayed here for the first time for Canada Day weekend. Cozy little place, that is a decent price in the heart of Whistler village. It’s just steps away from Olympic Plaza where you can hear singers at night. In the morning, it’s steps away from Starbucks, Blenz, and a crêpe café. Yummm. The suite had a little kitchen that you can cook in, a patio looking out to the mountains, and a gas fireplace. The lodge also has a small gym, dry sauna, wet sauna, small pool, and a hot tub. Yippeeee !!! Three things I really like? 1) extra bath towels in the bathroom, 2) internet and a big screen tv, AND 3) the place is near everything if you want to go shopping and still wear heels :)

We live in Vancouver and have been to Whistler many times, and will not stay in this place again. The location is great… But the problem truly were the rooms… They were small, outdated, and although we were not on our hands and knees investigating it definitely looks Iike the place has not been cleaned thoroughly in a long time! Here are few things that bugged us. They might not bug you, but here they are: Lampshades were crooked, patio door hardley opened, patio furniture was extremely dirty and had to be wiped down, crooked pictures, and crooked light switch covers… It seemed like they had a timelimit to updated the suites, and once time was up. Thats it! Basically the worst thing is the units are not updated at all… For this price, there are always other options that are waaaay better! We stayed here this time because everywhere else was booked. Next time, we will be staying elsewhere!
