Hotel Review of the Mountainside Lodge Whistler
Room Tip: Umberto's restaurant next door is a highlight for a big night out.
If you want local fun and to watch a Canucks Game try Citta's in the middle of
the Village. The nachos is epic.

We booked the Loft (apartment) for four ppl and it was just perfect. Big, clean,
perfectly equipped kitchen, gas fireplace and an amazing hot tub and pool
outside. Plus it's super close to the Gondolas. All that for a very reasonable
price. Would book again.

We were in Vancouver over Christmas holiday, and decided to make a short trip to
Whistler for some good skiing. We stumbled upon this great lodge hotel, located
right in the heart of Whistler Village! Amazing location! You can literally walk
outside of the hotel, cross the street, and suddenly there is Blackcomb and
Whistler gondola's, along with the lift ticket purchase area. I would consider
that the next closest thing to a Ski In Ski Out option, since we were THAT close
to the ski lifts.
Hotel Review of the Mountainside Lodge Whistler
We originally reserved a Studio Suite, but upon checking into the hotel, we were
offered the option to upgrade to a loft suite for $20, so we figured, why not,
let's check it out! Our loft suite was awesome - 1 full bathroom downstairs, a
kitchenette, dining area, and family room with fireplace. Upstairs was another
full bathroom, queen bedroom, and a personal sauna!
TV's were a little outdated, and not many channel choices, but it's also not the
end of the world. Upstairs TV was 13", tiny, and hidden in a closet.
While we never took advantage of all the amenities offered, I appreciate that we
had the option to use them. The stay was great, front desk was very friendly
too!
One kicker - Parking - there is underground parking for $18 a day; but it's
worth it. There isn't any other place to park the car.
Restaurants - we tried The Keg for dinner one evening, great food, not the
cheapest, but it's worth it. If you like seafood, definitely go for the Alaskan
King Crab option. Service was great too!

Last February we stayed in a Loft Suite for a week ski vacation. This was my
third trip to Whistler, and Mountainside Lodge was the best place we've stayed.
Loved having 2 bathrooms - made it very reasonable to have 4 people share the
suite. The trundle bed in the kitchen was the source of much giggling, but
apparently it was quite comfortable. The location is excellent, and we found the
front desk staff helpful and courteous. We really enjoyed the hot tub, and the
heated pool was a great attraction for kids (also great for keeping them out of
the hot tub). Definitely recommend!
