I stayed here for three nights in January 2010. First off I want to say
that the hotel was great value and we got a package with lift tickets
included. The hotel itself is really nice, it's new and clean and just
across the street from main Whistler Village area. It's a short walk to
the gondola (about 5 minutes with skis).
The hotel has a really nice pool and two hot tubs which weren't overrun,
also a ski shack, parking and a workout room (not that anyone uses it on
a ski vacation). No bar/restaurant though but in the village so it
doesn't matter.
Rooms were nice enough and had a kitchenette and gorgeous mountain
views.

Don't be scared by the title. Not noisy or too busy, but very relaxing
for our family of four. The walls could be thicker and the workout room
better appointed, but it was a clean and well-taken care of condo. Our
sons enjoyed the pool and hot tub (and back to the pool, hot tub, etc.)
and we all enjoyed the proximity to the slopes (not ski-in ski-out, but
about a 5 minute walk to the rental pick-up and gondola) and regular
short walks to the village for shopping and ice cream. A very good value
for the price (bundled with lift tickets, in our case). We will stay
there again.

We stayed in a one bedroom unit for 4 nights. Our view looked out onto
the balcony, heated outdoor pool, hot tub and the mountains. The room
consisted of a pullout sofabed, a fireplace, a washer and dryer, a
flatscreen TV, a full kitchenette and a large size bed in the bedroom.
It is about a 10 minute walk to the lifts and to the centre of the
village. A free shuttle bus is also available to take you there. It is
located right across the street. The supermarket is a short walk away.
Underground parking is $12 per night. We had no housekeeping since we
stayed less than 5 nights. We booked our hotel, ski lift tickets and
rentals as a package through ResortQuest Whistler. This included a free
DVD movie per day. If renting equipment, pickup is at the Carleton
Place, right next to the lifts. They will store your skis (not the
boots) for you overnight as part of the package. There are some great
restaurants (some on the pricier side), and lots of shopping in the
village. Our stay just happened to coincide with the Paralympics, which
was a bonus for us. We were able to watch the medal ceremonies in the
evenings. The Cascade Lodge is not a 'ski in-ski out' hotel, but I would
recommend it to others.

This property was located at the end of whistler village. So close to
restaurants and cafes in the village.
Our room was only a studio which was compact. Had a small kitchenette ,
kettle, toaster, coffee maker. I saw a one bed room unit and would have
preferred that as it was very roomy.
Our room over looked the swimming pool and mountains in the back ground.
The spa was hot and very enjoyable.
My only gripe is - Our stay would have been perfect if the front desk
staff had alittle more enthusiasm for the jos.The greetings were always
luke warm , and not very welcoming.

Whistler Village - about a 2 minute walk We go here each year. I
actually go as part of my condo, not as a hotel. From what I am told,
the condo units and the hotel units are similar.
The Cascade Lodge is just outside Whistler Village, so the location is
great. There is a small ski shot to buy the essentials before you hit
the slopes…not sure what it turns into during summer months. The
concierge has always been helpful and the maintenance staff keep things
clean.
The units are fairly small, but well appointed. The decks are
tiny…..just enough room to stand and enjoy your cigar.
The underground parking is nice and the ramp leading to it is heated so
no worries about sliding in the winter. The outdoor area has a few
hot-tubs and a year-around pool.
It is the perfect place to enjoy some fine dining, romantic settings,
and beautiful scenery.

The Room was very good, clean, good size, and good kitchen. only the
mattress on the principal room was very soft. a small hot tub not to
fit. This hotel was great! The price was right. It is a short walk to
the village square. Pool area is awesome. Would definitely stay there
again.
Shopping only a 1/2 block away. Sobey’s and the village stroll with all
kinds of shops and eating opportunities.

This hotel is in an excellent location, close to shopping, restaurants
and access to the Valley Trail. The rooms are clean and comfortable and
the staff friendly and helpful. We have stayed at this hotel several
times and will not hesitate to stay again.

This hotel is in a great location just steps from Whistler Village. We
had a studio room which I expected to be small but not this small. The
website said we would have a kitchenette and table for eating but I
didn’t expect it to be at the very foot of the bed, which it was. You
couldn’t even sit at the table and watch TV because there was no room to
do so. It was also not kept up very well - there was a pile of dirty
laundry in the hallway by our room the second night we were there and it
stayed there for the following two days and was still there when we
left, as well as a bag of trash. The pool area was nice and had a great
view of the mountain but the hot tub was too hot to even sit in. Overall
I think if you got a 1- or 2-br this place would be better but I don’t
recommend the studio!

Having the kitchenette was great and we cooked dinner in the room two
nights. It was fully stocked with dishes, silverware, and even pans to
cook with. There was a mini fridge so you can’t bring many groceries and
only a small area for frozen stuff. The room didn’t have an oven but the
stove worked great. We walked along the Valley Trail for hours one day
out by the golf course and it was beautiful - I would highly recommend
this for a nice, cheap activity.
