Hotel Review of the Westin
Hotel Whistler
Mar 3, 2011
We just returned from a 4 night stay at the Westin Whistler and it was
perfect!!! . When we walked in to the room we were totally overwhelmed. The
view was awesome! The space was great, and everything we needed was
there.
The gentleman who was stocking the fridge/snack items was in the hallway
and when I asked if we could have these items removed he said he was
sure it would be no problem. They were gone within an hour. With little
kids I needed the fridge space, and did not need the grief of being
nagged about Oreos and Gatorade every two minutes (kind of zaps the fun
of a hotel room right away). Many hotels really put up a fight with this
request (and make you have it daily)..not this time...just taken care
of! And for the week!
Maddy, from your bell service team was awesome! She had to come to our
car in the garage and help me unload and sort through what needed to
come in and what did not as we had been at a home over by Blackcomb with
friends for the previous 5 days. She was charming, patient, and made me
feel like I had no need to rush or be apologetic!
The woman who checked us in was super friendly, efficient and made us
feel like we were being welcomed BACK to the Westin! We were called when
our room was ready and told not to rush, but enjoy our day skiing!
I was really hesitant to stay at such a beautiful, luxury resort with
our kiddos...but they were made to feel so welcome, and they had a
wonderful time...as much fun as we did! The walk to Whistler kids was a
breeze, and the restaurants, stores, and amenities on property at the
Westin were first class...top notch! Not one bad service experience!
Westin rooms do have full kitchens. We ate dinners in a lot because
after a day in ski camp the kids can barely keep their eyes
open...tomato soup and grilled cheese, pasta, chili....the kitchens had
everything we needed! Also the walls must be kid proof because I know we
had a baby on one side of us and we never heard a peep the whole week!!
Thank you Westin Whistler for being part of a trip to Whistler that we
will never forget! And we will be forgoing our usual condo this summer
and checking back in with you and your team!

Stayed for 2 nights from February 25th to February 28th.
Got to the hotel at noon and our room was not ready. It was ready about
1/2 hour later. Other than the slight delay the service was very
welcoming.
We had a one bedroom suite on the 7th floor with a partial view of the
mountain. The suite was well appointed with a comfortable bed, sitting
area and washroom. It looked and felt clean and they told us is was a
"non pet" room.
The water was not draining well in the shower and when we called down it
was fixed right away.
Location was great, 1 minute from both gondolas and all the ticketing
and customer service offices. It was at one end of the "stroll".
We used the concierge to make dinner reservations and he was very
helpful as well. Try Araxi in the village, it is one of the best
restaurants we have been to.
Overall a very nice hotel.

Having stayed in the Westin in Sydney I thought I'd stay here when going
on a boys ski trip. You can't beat the location as it's right by the
lifts and Whistler Village. The staff in the hotel were really friendly
and the service was great. I damaged my ankle and they shuttle bussed me
down to the medical centre so I didn't have to walk.
There is a couple of restaurants, both of which are mediocre in my view.
The bar is ok and good for an early evening beer before heading out.
Strange that they put a kitchen in your room. Maybe this is a Canadian
thing, but I found it rather weird waking up to an oven and hob opposite
the bed. That really put me off - it maybe a plus to some people, but if
I'd wanted a kitchen I'd have booked an apartment. In the UK it's usally
low rent hotels that have this 'feature'. Apart from that, the Westin
bed was comfy.
The swimming pool / sauna was way too busy at the end of the day. There
were loads of kids running riot on 2 of the days in the outside pool and
you had no chance of getting into the Jacuzzi. We did go over Presidents
weekend though so maybe that's why.
I'll probably try somewhere else on my next visit. |
