Glacier Lodge

I stayed here for the last weekend Blackcomb was open for the ²⁰¹²⁄₂₀₁₃ ski season. The price was really good as was the location. I don’t think I would stay here for an extended period of time unless I got a 1 bedroom room because the studio bed was a pullout couch which was less than ideal to sleep on. The overall hotel was really nice and the staff was extremely friendly. For the price this place cannot be beat but I would recommend spending the additional money for a proper bed instead of a pullout couch. Also, they do not have daily maid service which isn’t an issue for short stays but keep that in mind if you are going to stay here for more than a few days.

For the price and the spaciousness of the suites it’s hard to beat in Whistler. It’s right by the Fairmont in a quiet area and they have underground parking and an outdoor pool and 2 hot tubs.
I couldn’t believe how large the 1 bedroom suites were, they could definitely sleep 6 people. It was probably bigger than our apartment and had a huge living room and fireplace.
We chose it because we wanted to make our own meals while in Whistler as there are less vegan options there than Vancouver and were quite happy with the kitchen and space.
There is no daily maid service FYI, but this was expected and fine with us. You have tons of fresh towels in the bathroom anyway.
We stayed on the 3^rd floor and the only thing I would fault is that it was a little too hot. We opened the tiny window in the living room and had some fans on but I can imagine in the height of the summer it would get quite hot especially if you were cooking in there too. Having some AC in the building would be really nice.
But if it’s in the winter time, it would be fine as well as there is a nice fireplace that can heat up the suite quickly.
For pool towels you have to go to the front desk, the only thing I found odd was that the pool towels are TINY. I am a small girl and it would barely fit around me, so I could only imagine if you’re a guy or bigger boned that the towel would seem more like a hand towel to you. It’s the smallest full sized towel I’ve ever seen. They expect you to only take one and to reuse them so they don’t run out, but I don’t see how that would work as you can barely dry yourself with one let alone cover up.
The room itself was very comfortable, the hot tub was quite hot and we had an enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend staying here especially if you have a bunch of friends or a family as there’s enough space.
