Our holiday stay at Whistler Retreats could not have gone better. Excellent communication with Tanya and the team. The accommodation was comfortable with a little deck and views of Blackcombe Mountain. Close to a great selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Would stay at Whistler Retreats again.

Overall, not bad. This is the second time I stayed in this exact unit, like the location, could use upgrades, fireplace didn't work, laundry didn't work properly, the worst change from my stay a couple of years previously, the office was changed from this bldg to one a km away, pita.

The place was clean, the location is very good, close To market, drugstore, liquor Store, less than 10 min walking to the lift. It is located in the north village, really close To all facilities you need when in Whistler.The property itself is clean, confortable and we had everything we needed.I would come back for sure! The only issue is the check in process, i had help of the people who was arriving at the same time, but not a big deal.

Overall, a good experience. We had a minor issue upon arrival, with water backing up into the sink - but after a couple of visits from a friendly engineer, this was resolved.The fireplace also went out - once it was fixed, and the second time we didn't report the problem as we were warm enough without it.Two other minor issues (which we worked around, and didn't report at the time). The oven thermostat appears to be faulty... resulting in cooking times being unreliable... but regular checking resolved that...Secondly, the fridge was unsteady when opened... not a major inconvenience, so again not reported.Our stay was for 12 days, so we had to purchase various items (dish washer tablets, toilet rolls etc), but this was expected as we have stayed before.The location is good - a (free) bus ride from the lifts. The hot tub is at the very opposite end of the property, which is a minor frustration.Checking out, we had to use the lock box as expected, but frustratingly, the lift (one of two near the main entrance) would not work without the keyfob. (I would have reported this... but we only found it whilst leaving).

I stayed for three nights. great spot location wise, had a great parking stall close to the elevator. Place was clean. Really the possible loss to this place was the hidabed couch. Wasnt super comfortable but honestly for the price this place rocked. I will book it again for sure.

Every time I book a room I get more convinced that Airbnb is the right choice. How can you possibly justify charging more than $500 a night for a place such outdated than any Motel 6 hotel or similar category looks better? This is Whistler. A noisy fireplace. Not even enough money to match lighting bulbs to put one regular and one of those curly energy saver ones. Like the money you charge is not enough. Look around the places in Airbnb and judge yourselves.

Passive aggressive front desk clerk. I didn't feel comfortable signing a blank visa statement when I already paid for the full week and pre authorized 500 upon arrival. I knew something was going to be charged . She told me to leave one key in the room and one return to her even though I said I wanted to return both , she said they require one in the room . Then lo and behold , the day after I leave the fob for the room goes missing when we didn't even use it.

The place feels uncared for. It was clean, but nobody has really paid attention to it in a long time. The refrigerator is very loud, and isn't leveled, so it rocks back and forth. Burned out light bulbs in the kitchen and bathroom. A hole in the back of the bathroom door. It's functional, however.

First, we couldn't find the "front desk" per say. Drove to two different locations before finding. Room was very dark, needs major updating. Fridge was wobbly and bathroom fan would go on spontaneously. When I mentioned the fan to the receptionist, she informed me that the fan does that because it senses "humidity" in the room, but I think it's a faulty switch and probably a fire hazard.

I travel a lot on business and this was one of the worst places I have stayed at. The room was old and run down. I took pictures to remind myself of it. Beds were very uncomfortable and the bedding was dirty. Kitchen and bathroom are grimy. For the price we paid to stay the is place was unacceptable. Spend some money and fix it up.

The room was great for 2 people, any more would have been cramped. There is no bedroom, just a pull-down couch in the living room. Fireplace was nice, balcony looks right into another building but it's nice to have one. Room felt a bit dated, but was overall clean. The location is down in the marketplace, making grocery shipping convenient, but getting to the slopes not so much (however, the long walk through the village is pretty). Rental company was very helpful, no mistakes were made. Overall a good stay that I would recommend and would make again.

Went up for Tough Mudder weekend so thr prices were higher than normal summer prices. That being said, this unit went on sale for cheaper when searching the Tough Mudder website. Pictures are as described. Nice having a full kitchen. Very small, but functional and clean.

Great little studio. Nothing overly fancy but just right for 2 people. Cozy is a good descriptor for this place. Place was clean and everything seemed to work. There is barely a view of the mountain, the only downside.

Our accommodation was tired and in need of some tlc but otherwise it was fine - everything was in working order. For 3 adults next time I would get a bigger apartment with a separate bedroom. The pull out sofa bed was not very comfortable for an adult.

We have stayed in the marketplace on three occasions. Pretty hard to beat the price and the location. I can get noisy at night and the units are well used but clean and functional. We will be back for sure!
