Hotel Review of the
Executive Inn At Whistler Village
21 October 2011
My husband and I came to Whistler for our anniversary. I had purchased a groupon
for this hotel after seeing what looked in the pictures like a very nice hotel.
Not only was I way off base, but I wouldn't even send someone I didn't like
here. The rooms smelled like smoke (like a bonfire), the room was cramped and
small (and this was an upgrade room!) the concierge reminded me of a used car
salesman, the hotel is maze-like and has a horrible 1970's design, the bed was
tiny, the sheets very itchy and rough....basically I was afraid to touch
anything---yuck. They make you pay up front, including a $100 damage
deposit...what??? What nice hotel charges you up front? Anyway- we left after a
horrible night of breathing in smoke (coughed all night), and checked into the
Westin for the remainder of the trip. The Westin is wonderful!!! And about the
same price.....do yourself a favor and DO NOT stay here!!!!

Although small at 37m2 it was clean, cosy and very central, value for money
stay.

We checked in to a queen loft for a weekend in the off season. The hotel itself
is in a great location, minutes from the base with Starbucks and the Old
Spaghetti Factory just outside your front door. The front desk clerk was very
friendly and helpful and the underground parking was easily accessible($20.00 or
25 a night). We had room 308, top floor corner room. Because it was still nice
enough to sit outside the patio for our room was great! I would recommend that
room if you are up at a time you want to sit outside to enjoy the day. Because
it was off season, even though we were facing the street it was quiet. the room
was clean with mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and stovetop (no oven). flat
screen TV downstairs only. the room itself was comfortable for two people. the
bed itself in the loft looked really comfortable, but unfortunately it wasn't. I
hated the mattress and my travel partner couldn't stand the pillows. the
heat/air distribution in the room left us either really warm or cold so it
didn't contribute to a good nights sleep. there wasn't a venting system in the
bathroom either (that or it wasn't working). The couch wasn't a pull out, some
of the rooms have one, but it was big enough that an extra person could sleep on
it. it is a small hotel-no ice machines/vending ,no in room movies, no pool or
sauna. . the restaurant was closed when we were there-its Umberto's Italian
eatery. It is obviously an older building that has been renovated-I could feel
the draft coming from the windows and see they had recently re-cocked the
outside windows. Previous reviews have noted they charge you 5.00 for the wood
burning fireplace log, we didn't use it so I can say I had purchased a Groupon
for the room and had a really good price for it, so I have no complaints about
what I paid (room, parking included). In my opinion, its nicer than staying in a
standard hotel room with the kitchen facility and separate living room/queen
loft. Its not as fancy as the online photos might portray, but if you are going
to ski or want to be in the heart of the Village, its worth well for it's
location. I still have the Mountainside as my favorite.

Tired and grumpy after a long trip arrived at the hotel early and were
immediately made to feel very welcome by everyone at the desk. The rooms were
fabulous, nicely appointed modern and very clean, even the cleaners would call
us by name and ask how our day was. Just an all-round thoroughly enjoyable stay
which I would highly recommend to anyone.

Booked the presidential suite and was treated worse than someone getting booked
for a major crime. Someone should give the front desk staff a lesson in
hospitality. Pictures online oversell the place. Lobby and elevator are tiny and
there are no amenities. Rooms are nothing special either. Shower in the suite
was poorly layed out and you can't adjust it to get anything lower than your
head. Microwave was broken (looked like someone took a bat to it). |
