Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers beautiful rooms with a stunning view facing the lake, making it a good choice with 2 pools and a hot tub. Although it lacks some of the finer service qualities it once had, it remains a comfortable place to stay.
The hotel rooms are quite romantic with oversized bathtubs set near the floor to ceiling windows, beautiful, and very comfortable, just missing some of the finer qualities of service it used to have. It ended up being the perfect spot close to the restaurant and spa, and only one beautiful and easy flight of stairs up from the lobby.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with nice views from various vantage points, although they are not all on the same floor. The service from the assistant Manager, Justin, was great, friendly, and helpful. The location is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and a great example of a place to enjoy a repeat visit. The dining experience at Pallino's Italian Bistro was excellent with lots of options, including vegetarian choices.
Staying at the hotel in Whistler was truly a mixed experience. The rooms are a real treat with stunning views from a full wall of glass, perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. However, the location next to the parking garage felt like a dungeon, and the check-in process was a bit frustrating. The service, especially during the spa treatment, was friendly, but there were some inconsistencies. The dining experience was wonderful with a variety of seafood options, yet there is room for improvement. Overall, a stay with ups and downs that could be worth it depending on your priorities.
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with stunning Swarovski crystal installations but dinner reservations fill up quickly. The service is top-notch, with attentive staff. The location provides a spectacular view of Lake Okanagan, though there were some errors during check-in. The dining experience is a mix of delicious food but with room for improvement. The facilities are well-maintained.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms offered breathtaking views, were cozy, and felt like a home away from home. There were some signs of wear and tear that needed attention, which was promptly taken care of on the second night. The redesign in the steam room added a nice touch to the experience.
