Bear Lodge

We got a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom (Unit #204). Although this was a deal, if I were to go to Whistler again, I personally would opt to research for a 4 star place.
Pros:
–Neat
–Corner Unit (1^st bedroom is nice because of this)
–Loaded Kitchen with heated floor
–Washer/​Dryer
–Fireplace
–Couch (pull out bed)
–In Whistler Village, walking distance to the gondolas
–Receptionist was nice & our room was ready before check in luckily (we thought it was at 12PM but check in is at 4PM)
–TVs in each room & living room
–Safe available
Cons:
–You can hear doors, footsteps, bathroom above you, neighbors next door on their patio (next to 2^nd bedroom), I had a horrible 1^st night because of this
–2^nd bathroom had a difficult shower knob made it hard to control temperature, I could turn it a notch by mistake because the knob is difficult and it would be scorching hot, and time consuming messing with that
–Reception desk closes at 12AM and is located in a different building North of the Village (inconvenient)
–No room service
–Hot tub located in separate building, inconvenient to get to (via walking through huge parking garage, cold!)
–Must pay for parking
–Sheets & bedding not soft and comfy
–Tiny patio (2 people can stand or sit really close)

Nice place to stay with a beautiful view, but everywhere in whistler can say. It is a little dated in style and only having one elevator makes it hard when there is alot of people trying to use it at once. Also walls are not soundproff enough, when building a lodge in the village you have to think about the noise outside.

Amazing place to stay — super comfy with nice touches like a fireplace and a place to store your snow-​weather gear so you don’t get melted snow all over the condo (I hate stepping in cold puddles of melted snow in my socks. yuck). Location is perfect also — you’re in the heart of the village so all the restaurants, grocery stores, and shops are at your fingertips. The lifts are just a quick walk quick walk through the village. Cost-​wise it was also inexpensive, but I can’t remember if we got a last minute deal. If you’re arriving late, make sure you get information on where to pick up keys.
