Glacier Lodge #229

Very nice unit in an above average building.

We were very satisfied with unit 229. It was clean and decorated nicely. Looks like recently renovated. The Glacier Lodge itself is above average. We were not directly connected with the front desk downstairs so any inquires and requests had to go to front desk at Chamois which was not very convenient. We would stay there again.

Awesome Location, Amazing Vacation

We received 211 cm of snow the week we were in Whistler. It was amazing! The kids were able to put their skis on outside the Glacier Lodge door and ski (or be pushed) to the base of Blackcomb for their lessons. The location was the perfect spot for our family. It's a short enjoyable walk to Whistler village and returning to Glacier Lodge we truly enjoyed the quieter atmosphere for relaxing in the evenings. We had an amazing week and would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Whistler. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Overall it was good but there were just a couple of niggles. The cooker failed to maintain the temperature, so our Christmas Dinner was about 3 hours late to the table. The electricity kept tripping and the desk staff wanted nothing to do with us as we were not Glacier Lodge guests. Fortunately we worked out one of the hairdryers kept tripping, so we stopped using it. The washing machine and dryer were not in the appartment, which the advertising led me to believe, which provewd a little inconvenient as other people obviously used the equipment and we had top stay in and wait for it to finish, so not as to inconvenience other guests

great property, plenty of room, good location, good package with only one small problem the hair drier kept tripping the power.

A drying cupboard would be useful, when you are travelling with children.

Glacier Lodge 229

The experience in this condo residence was overall very good. We were only two people but I could see how it could accommodate a family of up to six or two related couples. The sleeping setup upstairs is the reason I say that. You have to travel through what could be the sleeping quarters of children to get to the master bedroom. We were either fortunate, or unfortunate depending upon your preference, to be in Whistler during their heat wave. Daytime temperatures were in the mid 30’s and it took until early morning to cool down the unit. We had to leave the windows and balcony door open to let in the air as no fan was provided for the upstairs sleeping section. The ceiling fan, despite being on from the minute we walked in until the time we left was unable to cool the sleeping area. However, remember that the average summer temperature is considerably lower and this unit is equipped with a fireplace and heated floors.
We came to the conclusion that they fog the Whistler area because there were no black flies or mosquitoes in the unit despite never closing the windows and door. The balcony wraps around and provides complete privacy. There are two washrooms – so I could use the downstairs shower while my spouse slept upstairs. The Glacier lodge can be known to be too close to the busy walk nearby but this unit had no noise issues whatsoever and we were there when they had the mountain bike event. The unit was generally clean and in good shape. The appliances look good but appear to be on the lower end of the higher end. The refrigerator was running for two days until I figured out that it was set up way to high. I turned it down to the settings suggested and it worked much better – cooled better after that. The dishwasher left a film on all the dishes. I began to wash them by hand. I did not spend much effort trying to figure it out – it could just be the wrong soap, lacking rinse aid or softener. A vacuum would have been useful – I don’t sweep

Fantastic Vacation

I can advise that the room was fantastic, clean & exactly as the pictures we received beforehand.
The location is great for skiing & quiet, easy enough to get to the main village & some local shops & restaurants so ideal for families but not so great if your 21 & looking to go clubbing each night.
The staff at Whistler platinum were very helpful & friendly both before booking & upon arrival.
I had a fantastic vacation & would use this company again or recommend to friends.
