Overall this is a decent place to stay in Whistler. The location is pretty central and there is a shuttle service that drops right near the lifts so for skiing it is very convenient. The shuttle service was really well run too, with a very courteous and friendly driver. We never had to wait more than a few minutes and in fact had a private shuttle that left on our schedule in the mornings!
The rooms are nice, pretty well kept but the one we had was very small. We go to Whistler for the skiing though, not for the hotel room and as such found this place more than adequate and will stay here again considering price, location, and the shuttle service.

I picked the Summit over others (Westin, Delta, etc...) because I've stayed at the summit about three times over the past five years and was pleased with my previous stays. In my prior stays, I'd enjoyed the Summit because of it's quiet location and boutique hotel feel. Well, the quiet location still applies, but the place has as much character as a Best Western!

The poor housekeeping to the non-chalant attitude of the staff, this place does not have a hint of the "boutique hotel" feel that it ever was before.

My wife and 2 kids stayed here for 2 nights - 24th and 25th August 2008.
We arrived having taken in the beautiful drive from Vancouver at 11am - far too early to check in but the lady on the desk offered the underground parking immediately prior to us formally checking in. At $19 per night plus tax, it's reasonably expensive but it is very secure with access only by your room card. We found this excellent. It was also warm down there which will definitely benefit those travellers who stay at the Summit lodge in Winter.
When we did check in, we were told we had been upgraded to a one bedroom suite. The room was excellent with great kitchen facilities and a HUGE bed which was easily the best we slept in whilst on our Rockies tour.
The hotel is centrally located, the front desk staff were good and the room was serviced to a good standard. We'd DEFINITELY stay at the Summit Lodge again - the rooms were competitively priced and great value for money.
Whistler was great - we loved it! We did the Zip trek on our second day which we had pre-booked on the internet before travelling. This was brilliant and well worth it - would definitely recommend.

Clean and comfortable, nice appointed rooms, with very friendly staff always happy to answer questions or make recommendations. The location is at the far end of Whistler Village, so you're about a 10-15 minute walk to the lifts, but there's so much happening in the town along the Village Stroll that you'll hardly notice. The only negative: The 4-foot-deep pool is the size of a bathtub. Definitely recommended.

We just stayed at the Summit Lodge last weekend for 2 days and 2 nights and had a great time.
The check in staff was very friendly and helpful. When we checked in, we were offered a complimentary glass at the restaurant connected with the hotel. (Element) We also had a few questions regarding one of the activities we had booked and they called the company for us to ask those questions. I also forget my glasses in my room, and luckily they were found by the cleaning staff, and they offered to mail them to me.
The location of the hotel is great. It is just outside of the main village, which I didn’t mind because while we were in the main village at night it seemed to be noisy, and I were staying at a hotel in the village, I would think that this would become an issue.
We had a room with a pool view, one queen bed and a pull out sofa. The room also had a mini fridge, microwave, sink, and 2 elements to cook on. The room was a good size and was very clean. The blanket on the bed was also very comfortable. We didn’t get cleaning service after our first night as we asked not to, but the chamber maid was nice enough to give us new towels as we had already used all the ones we had. (she was in the hall when we were leaving so we just asked)
There is an outdoor pool and hot tube that are about average size along with a steam room. They close every night at 10pm.

Overall, I was very pleased. I’m they type of person that usually stays in the Holiday Inn or basic accommodations like that, because for me hotels are just a place to keep my stuff and rest at night. But as this trip was more of a relaxing trip, we choose a nicer place, and is probably one of the nicer places I have stayed at.

The hotel was clean and for the most part quiet.
The room had a kitchenette, which was great as it meant we could cut our costs by dining in our room a couple of nights.
our room was clean and spacious. It had a electric fire, sofa, hairdryer, shower, TV and all that general stuff you could want.
It also had a balcony, which springtime onwards would be great to sit out on as it overlooks the hot tubs and massive pine trees.
Reception does have internet access, but it seemed that kids sat on this all day long, so we didn't bother trying to use it.
Reception staff were helpful and polite. The underground parking is a bonus, although there is a small fee for each day you are there.
You are also charged for a newspaper which is put outside your door every morning, so make sure you tell Reception straight away if you don't want it.
We had an average stay here, although the hotel was above average on cleanliness.
Unless you are a dude who loves to show off on the slopes, then there is nothing to do here apart from shop or drink.
So the hotel was fine, but just don't come here unless you're into that kind of thing.
