Hotel Review of the
Executive Inn At Whistler Village
Jun 21, 2010
For the price and the location you could not beat this hotel, however the loft
suites were very non-user friendly you had to crawl over the one side of the bed
to get to the other and the bed I am sure was 20 years old as it sloped to the
middle. The pillows were so stiff you had to sleep without a pillow or else your
head was crinkled forward. Very noisy outside until about 4am. The service and
cleanliness was very good the hotel staff very friendly and when you phoned for
room service they were there immediately with whatever you had requested. The
location was ideal for walking and being central to everything. So if you do not
need any sleep and are looking for price point this would be a good call. Would
not stay here again though based on the sleep quality.

The location is great being on the Stroll and in the center of activity, but is
not appreciated when you are trying to sleep and you are woken up by the
energetic yelling outside. There are rooms that are on the opposite "quieter"
side of the building that I would ask for if I were to stay again. Otherwards,
the rooms were clean and comfortable and being in a loft was a neat experience.
Expect the lobby to be a desk and 2 chairs in the corner. Parking is only
$15.00/night which for Whistler is pretty good. If you have trouble with stairs-
do not get a room on the 1/2 floor

My expectations were for a nice couple of days exploring the Village and
having a nice place to return to. The building itself was clean and
after you became accustomed to the layout, stairs and turns... getting
around wasn't difficult. The problem was the smell of the fireplace
every time you walked in the room. It was, at times enough to take your
breath away. Luckily we didn't spend too much time in the room.
We were just not impressed and will find other accommodation next time.

The only plus of this hotel are location and room quality. Other than
that, it won't work for families with young children. Rooms are insanely
small (have to turn sideways to get into bathroom because of toilet
stopping door), stairs are very steep with children and the lofts would
make any parent with a toddler or child insane with worry (they look
right over the living room, but the bed is pushed up against the wall,
so any child could look over easily). If you are going with a group,
there is no living room area for people to visit, and in the
studio/hotel room, there is not enough room to even put up a pack and
play.
There are no luggage carts, so if you are travelling with gear you have
to make several trips. You can hear everything whether you are on the
alley side or the village side, and most of our friends had to purchase
earplugs the second night to sleep. The other downside is that
toddlers/children can open the door even if its deadbolted, so you might
be constantly chasing them...
For a couple with no children and no real gear, it might be a good
choice.

This place had everything you could want - comfortable bed, great
shower, kitchenette and a view out of this world. Spotlessly clean with
very helpful staff. We could not have asked for anything better. Would
we stay there again? YES!!!! The next time we go back to Whistler,
that'll be our home base. We were less than 100 steps to everything we
wanted to see and do. Keep up the good work.

We have stayed at a few different places in Whistler. The Executive Inn
is one of the better places if you are after something basic in the
heart of downtown. Again this place is nothing fancy. We had a clean
room with kitchenette with a balcony that looked out into the heart of
village stroll. The hotel is in a great location just minutes from the
base gondolas. They have a secure ski room downstairs which is very
secure so leaving your ski stuff there made it very easy to get to the
lifts from your room in a few minutes (not even 5 minutes walking). They
also have pay parking which is first come first serve. We were lucky and
were able to get a paid parking spot. If we did not we would have had to
park our car across the street at the outside overnight parking lot.
Just like any place right along village stroll you will hear the people
at night so bring ear plugs. We were there for St.Patrick's day, and I
had ear plugs in knowing that it may get quite loud. I slept fine but
understand that without earplugs, you might have a bad experience.
The person working there had said that they just renovated the rooms,
before the 2010 Olympics, and at the same time fixed the elevator; so
all the earlier reviews with the elevator not working; it now works.
The is definite downside to this hotel which is HUGE. They don't have a
spa, sauna or pool, so if you are thinking of relaxing in a hot tub
after a day on the slopes, then you are out of luck. Also they do not
have a business center for wireless internet. We did not ask about
paying for internet either, so not sure if they offer wireless or not.

Our family always stay at the executive inn when we take a trip to
Whistler. One of the main reasons we love it here is the convenience of
its location and the price which is very reasonable. Yes, the services
offered at the hotel are minimal, but we didn't come to Whistler for
hotel service. There isn't an elevator, but we always stay on the second
floor, so we get a tad bit of exercise - no big deal. The laundry area
is small, but sufficient and clean. In fact, the hotel itself is fairly
clean and well maintained. It doesn't offer all the bells and whistles
of the major luxurious hotels, but at the same time, is it 1/2-1/3 of
the price less. The bathroom is small, and the tub is abit awkward to
get into, but my kids love turning on the jacuzzi with bath bubbles
after a long day of playing in the snow. The bed in the loft is very
comfortable. There is enough storage. The very best that this hotel has
to offer is the location. Close to everything! Convenient free
underground parking. We have been vacationing at this complex for over a
decade, since it was the Fireplace Inn and always come back for the
location, convenience and value. Christensen Family

The best attribute of this place is its proximity to the the ski
lifts...it's close. And the studio we rented was kept clean. But, for
the price, it has many inadequacies and quirks. The shower (or lack
there of) being the prime one. In order to advertise in-room hot tubs
Executive Inn has stuffed an oddly designed one in each bathroom such
that you can barely open the door to let yourself in. It is very
difficult to get into as well. For some older people it may be
impossible w/o injury. Extremely low water flow from the shower once you
manage to get in awaits. You will end up taking baths for your stay
here. Overall lighting was poor...very dark. Refrigerator did not work
well...ended up keeping drinks on balcony to chill. Front desk service
was apathetic and unfriendly. No help with luggage in lieu of no
elevator. Would not stay here again!
