Great location! Not right in the thick of it all but close enough and super easy to catch the shuttle to Whistler Village. Clean unit. Great set-up with bedrooms on opposite sides of the unit. We would definitely stay again.
I have stayed in the marquise many times during The last 20 years. Itâs certainly changed over the years. itâs less personal and building upkeep (unit condition was good) has slipped since they closed the front desk and became owner rented units but itâs still a favorite location as you can ski up to the building (the slope exit trail is marked), yet it is in a quiet area.
We had a great experience with this apartment. We were a family of 4 adults and 2 children.
The unit is spacious, clean and cozy. There is an air-conditioning in the common area and screens on the large windows in the bedrooms that are useful for hot days.
The access to the Blackcomb gondola is convinient and also the Lost lake is nearby.
-The pool area is neat and there is a dry sauna besides the hot tub.
The downsides :
- parking is not included in the price and costs 20$ per night.
- there was only one fan for 2 bedrooms (we didn't need it but for extremely hot days it would be useful.
- The shower in one of the bedrooms had very weak water pressure.
-Pillows are stiff and not comfy and there are no hooks in the bathroom to hang the towels.
Overall a decent value. Indoor hot tub and sauna were great for relaxing. Kitchen is modesty equipped, and views from the unit were nice. Although the building and unit are dated a few improvements in equipment and communication could be made by unit owners/management:
The posted listing indicates incorrectly that parking is available for $16 per night; the actual rate is $20 as of this writing.
The unit was not ready at the promised check-in time: cleaners needed more time to finish. No big deal, but would have been nice to communicate this to us prior to our arrival. Sadly, we found incomplete cleaning in the form of glass shards in the sink, and the steam shower had an odor that caused us to avoid using it (maybe not properly ventilated between uses?).
Multiple kitchen cabinets and drawers were labeled with their supposed contents, but few of them contained the actual number of purported items. We felt compelled to photographically document the initial conditions and contents, for fear we would be blamed for missing items.
The coffee pot is not a match for the drip coffee machine: the pot lid is missing a bulge that would allow the hot liquid to flow into the pot. Instead, we discovered our first brew overflowing the grounds.
The blinds and sun shades are in need of repair or replacement. Several are difficult or impossible to raise, and one roller shade is missing its pull string.
Individually these are minor concerns, but together give us pause renting again.
Amazing location, great amenities, perfect ski getaway
Check in was a breeze. The hot tub and close proximity to the Blackcomb lift were both game changers after a long day on the mountain. Highly recommend for a couple or small group
Great location and great condo for family of 4. Condo on bus line if you do not want to walk to lower village. Easy ski in and ski out for Blackcomb mountain. Upper village is quick 7 minute walk. Will want to use this condo again!!
This property was everything we thought it would be for a great rate. Room was clean and large enough for a family of six (if required) with the pull out sofa. Great views of the mountain and close to the ski hill if you walk through a trail or a neighbouring property. The building common area could use an upgrade but that Iâm sure was reflected in the price of the unit.
Very nice layout and spacious for our family of four. Had everything we needed and communication was prompt. Only negative was the floors were very dirty as well as the stove/oven. Maybe a good deep clean is needed. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.
This property was great. It had everything I expected and was exactly as I thought it would be. I would recommend this property to others and I would stay here again.
This property was incredible! It checked off all of our boxes, and even the boxes we didn't anticipate. I would definitely recommend this property to others, and I would stay there again next time I'm in the area.

All as described and in the pics. Mountain was very accessible, easy walk to both villages. We really enjoyed our stay and had a hard time saying good bye. Thanks!
