Located in a residential district away from the village, the Marquise is
a quiet condominium-style hotel ideally suited to families, couples, and
others looking for a relaxed ambience. The hotel also is less than (182
meters) 200 yards from Cruiser, a ski run on Blackcomb Mountain that you
can use to schuss their way directly into Whistler Village. You have
access to an outdoor pool, sauna, and outdoor spa tub. There are ski
lockers, coin laundry, and secured underground parking. The Marquise is
less than one mile from Upper Village, a shopping area at the base of
Blackcomb Mountain with boutiques, a grocery store, a beer and wine
store, and equipment rental shops. A complimentary shuttle operates from
6 AM until midnight (hours subject to change) between the hotel and both
Upper Village and the main village below.

We booked this place through whistlerblackcomb.com because it was
included in the base price of the weekend package. I didn't know what to
expect based on the previous reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised.
It was very neat, clean, and the rooms were nicely decorated. The
"ski-in ski-out" was a short walk across the street, but still close
enough to be convenient. The desk is only open certain hours though, so
if you arrive late like we did, you need to check in at a different
building down in the village which got a little confusing. Overall a
great value though and a wonderful trip!

Hoping to capitalize on the late season snow dump in April 2009 we
booked the hotel through the Whistler Blackcomb Official website
"Accommodations" tab. Arriving about 9 pm, there was nobody at the front
desk, and we had to drive to a nearby property to pick up our parking
and room keys. True to the posted photos, the lobby looked new, and
clean, and the amenities were lovely. But once you entered the hallway
to the rooms, it was like something out of a horror movie. It was dimly
lit, the carpets were dirty, and smelled musty. Our room was even worse.
The carpets were filthy, there was mold on the ceilings, and the
furniture was literally rotting. Growing up with working parents who
loved to travel, I've slept in my share of budget accommodation but this
was by far the worst I have ever encountered. It was advertised as a one
bedroom that sleeps four, however, one would not sit on the pull-out
couch with clothes on, much less let young children sleep on it. Shame
on ResortQuest Whistler for even offering this offending unit to the
public. You'd be better off sleeping on the floor of an airport toilet.
