Guest Review of the Marketplace Lodge Whistler
Jan 21, 2011
Stayed in marketplace lodge while in whistler for a few days skiing. The units
are all slightly different so look at the description to ensure it's what you
need. Ours was a studio which had a fold out bed and a kitchen/Dining area and
they came with Free Wifi.
Overall the units are fine studio is okay of you don't mind a fold out bed
otherwise find one with a bedroom but that may be more expensive. Follow the
check in procedures that get emailed to you a few days in advance particularly
if arriving after closing time as reception is not manned 24 Hours.
It's about a 10 minute walk through the village to the gondola or there is the
village shuttle stop ( Which is free) behind the units. There is a shop/
Pharmacy and Liquor store beside/underneath the complex so if you want to make
use of the kitchen it's useful for stocking up.

My wife and I rented this 1 bedroom unit at Merketplace WHISTLER from Jacquie
Sali at Resortac.com. Location is close to all services (100 yards). It is 10 to
15 minute walk along the Village Stroll to lifts but there is free shuttle every
10 minutes outside the door.
Unit has been redecorated and is beautiful.
To make the trip even better had incredible snow for 5 days.-

Stayed at Marketplace Lodge #246. Conveniently located, steps from stores,
restaurants and just a few minutes away from trails. Quiet, clean and very well
equipped.

Marketplace Lodge is within "Whistler Village" which is very convenient as you
don’t need your car to explore the town. It’s one of the more "economy"
accommodations, for our 3-night stay the rate worked out to what we’d pay for a
two or two1/2 star place in Vancouver. The area, though not in the village
centre, was very loud each night - not because of crowds but small groups of
very noisy people (drunk?) which seemed to dominate the streets at night.
Because of noise we had to keep all windows shut each night. The apartment
itself, though small, was practical as it had common area, kitchen corner, small
bedroom, full bath, and balcony. No housekeeping service or cleaning during our
stay, just before and after. Several floor tiles missing in the elevator. On
departure day we "found out" that check-out is at 10:00 am, not the common 11:00
am. This wasn’t in the printed instructions were were given at check-in. It gave
us a surprise that could have been nasty - we were loading the car in the
underground parkade and had to go back up to the room to get the last piece of
luggage, only to find out that our electronic room access code had already been
de-activated!!!. Fortunately one family member was still inside the room and
could open the door for us. Otherwise this could have been awkward as
check-in/check-out is not in the same building but at a location approx. 2-3 km
away. On the whole, we really enjoyed the "great outdoors", but will stay in a
different place next time!

My boyfriend & I visited Whistler on a mountain biking holiday in the
summer. We rented a one bed condo from Allura Direct from the website
from Arthur & Faye who own the condo and were really pleased considering
some of the reviews of other condos. Its location-via the elevator-
right above Starbucks was really convenient with a short walk to the
lifts. Very well equipped with a stacked washer & dryer, hair dryer in
the bathroom (bath with shower), lots of fresh towels, the bed was made
up with fresh linen, flat screen DVD tv, i-pod dock and wi-fi. The
kitchen had all the utensils we needed to self cater which was great as Whistler
is not cheap! One parking space was included. No, its not the 5* Fairmont but
comfortable, clean and great value. The only draw backs were the noise of the
rain made on the roof above the bedroom plus the early check out- 10am. Would
stay here again but may try find one with a later check out or discuss a late
check out with the owners. We found the hotel fairly easily, very reasonable
rate found on www.allure-hotels.com

The booking process very simple for us. After exchanging emails and
deciding that we wanted to stay at this particular one bedroom condo
(she owns a couple), I put down a deposit for a 3 night stay at the
Marketplace Lodge via Paypal. She emailed us with instructions on access
to the Marketplace Lodge and allowed us to checkout late! (A big plus in
our book!) Honestly, her condo was perfect for us! It's located right
across from the Marketplace grocery store and it's walking distance to
all the cafes/restaurants/bars in the Village. We saved money by making
breakfast and lunch at the condo, and eating out for dinner. The condo
has a stackable washer/dryer, free wi-fi, a reserved parking spot (also
free!), A/C in the living area (we didn't use it), flat screen TV and a
small balcony. It was a very comfortable stay and we look forward to
staying at Jacquie's condo next year!
