Hotel Review of the Aspens on Blackcomb at Whistler
Nov 19, 2009
Of course there is not doubt the hotel was clean and comfortable and friendly, I am not going there again because of its location. It is very close to the Blackcomb Mountain Base, however, it is not the only thing we go to Whistler for. If you are only in to Skiing and going to the top of the mountain and enjoy the Gondolas then this is a good location. However, if you are more of biking, and enjoy the village stroll kind of a person, then I suggest you find a hotel in the Village or the Village North.. The Upper Village hotels are far from everything else.

This "hotel" is not what you’d expect! All the rooms at this place are actually owned privately by other people. The whole build is managed and maintained by Rental quest. There is no turn-down service each night while you’re there but if you stay there for 5 days or more they’ll change the sheets and towels, occasionally, depending on the length of stay. (there are extra towels and sheets in the room already.) It’s right on Blackcomb, which is gorgeous, but is far from the Village nightlife, which was a bit of a pain since there is no restaurant in the "hotel". It’s very quiet at night, and the room had a large soaker tub, nice sized kitchen, separate bedroom and a fireplace. Oh, and they have free newly-released movies too!

I really liked the layout of the suite, with a separate bedroom and living room/ kitchen. The fireplace was a nice touch and the bathroom was super clean. I wouldn’t call it luxurious, but then again they don’t advertise it as a luxury place. I would definitely return with friends or family members, but if I was looking for a romantic weekend away, I might try something different.

Think about it. You don't want to get on a bus or carry your skis through town. You want the kids to have easy access to ski camp. You want to relax at the Fairmont apres-ski. You want to cook your own food. You want to have a lovely, ten-minute, evening walk over a covered bridge into the center of Whistler. The Aspens as it all. We have stayed here six times and loved it every single time (especially when there's fresh snow). The front desk is spartan, but the services available are great: coffee cart, free phone calls anywhere, ski shop, ski check-in. It's the easiest place to be at Whistler-Blackcomb!

We've stayed at the Aspens 3 times now, stumbling upon it last summer. We love rooms 355 and 209 with views of the Wizard Chairlift and mountains beyond. Incredibly nice, well-appointed room (but not so posh that we don't want to bring our 3 year old), and fantastic location so that we can pop into the Village easily but also escape it easily. It's one of the only resorts in Whistler that has a pool and also has 3 hot tubs where you can enjoy a glass of wine watching the sun go down over the mountains. I think ti's all in the rooms - our parents stayed in one that they didn't love as much. Also, we didnt' use the main Aspens staff - we booked through Blackcomb Peaks who have always been really helpful. All in all, though, we will definitely keep coming back!

A great place!!! Our room was on the 4th floor of the East Wing. It faced Blackcomb MT, there was a run just below our balcony!! The room was clean and had just about everything you need with the full kitchen and dishwasher!! They could use a few more pots and pans but other than that it was great. Nice if you want to be a little away from the noisy streets of the village. Bring your own food to cook at the room!! We did that with breakfast and went out for dinner! Request a room with a view and they will take care of ya!! Oh yeah bring your own coffee!! The only supply small packets!!

Ok...little harder to review this fairly as all suites are owned individually so what we experienced may not be the same. However....if I was coming back to whistler, i would stay here definitely! 2 bedrooms, full kitchen, well appointed. Only bad bit was that the hotel had a major leak a day or so earlier and everything in the main areas was under plastic! Brilliant location. Everything was a breeze to navigate and get to. Parking great...
would highly recommend. We were on second floor.

We searched & searched, found cheaper but location location location + the brand new KING bed & quick efficient return contact with owners via DIRECT VACATIONS finally convinced us.
We elected to take ski poles & boots with us, would we do that again ABSOLUTELY!!
no cost to take one set of sport equipment with each ticket .... each set in a ski bag + jackets, ski pants, thermals, max weight to be 20kg so that gave us heaps of room in our packed cases. We checked them in in AUSTRALIA collected them for 2 minutes in Los Angeles put in to the Central Luggage area & collected them in Vancouver.... all with no effort or fuss & certainly a big saving & better still our own BOOTS.
Pacific Coast Line Shuttle again easy easy easy with pleasant polite & VERY helpful driver who delivered us to the ASPENS door after stopping at the supermarket for us to pick us a few immediate needs grocery items "to settle in with"
Although we booked privately & the reception desk is provided to help only the guests booked via their agency we found them to be helpful & polite providing information & maps etc etc. when we asked.
The Condo was above & beyond what we hoped for....no photo shopped images here!! It was like walking into a a Hansel & Gretel fairytale picture book from our private deck ..... with everything we needed for our 2 week stay on Blackcomb/Whister. Appointment & accessories in the kitchen were excellent, bathroom with lovely deep bath with copious quantity of hot water, huge vanity benches & towels galore provided. Lounge with huge comfy chair & lounge & great flat screen TV DVD, heating LOOKED good but we turned it down & finally OFF as it was cosy & comfortable without.
Location was SKI IN SKI OUT no question (see photos below) with Concierge at door to deliver skis when asked & pack away for the evening.
Skiing was direct to the lift & ticket bays cafes etc.
Lift tickets (again advised by owner) were available very cheaply by buying them before the cut off date & as we had airfares & accommodation already paid clearly we would need the tickets, on the first day we just ski to the Office next to the lift with ID and collected them.
There is a smallish supermarket very close to ASPENS for forgotten items but we enjoyed the 5 minute walk to the villiage every afternoon/evening & usually went to the larger one there, had dinner & strolled home.
Shopping for gear, cafes & restaurants all to visit we ease, money changer available till quite late & of course credit cards to be used everywhere.

The mountain was beyond description...the staff everywhere were amazing...just look VAGUE, LOST, CONFUSED, UNSURE or all of the above and someone miraculously appears with "can I help you" and they DO.

We loved Whistler/Blackcomb
We loved ASPENS Condo 345
