Pros: One of the few real ski in/out sites in Whistler. Quieter location than properties right in the Village.

Cons: There was only ever one front desk person and she was so overworked. You have to line up at the desk for everything--first, when you arrive and need a card to get into the parking garage; to get a key to get into the pool, etc. Having to wait after a long trip at the front desk, while others check in or get problems resolved, just to get your car into the garage is a real hassle. They need better staffing up front.

The elevators are woefully in adequate for the size of the complex--it'll take forever to get one on the morning, when everyone's heading out to ski. It might be fine in the summer, when taking the stairs is an option, but it's not an option to walk down 4 flights of stairs in ski boots. And I wonder about their maintenance--a staff member told us she'd been stuck in the elevator for 4 hours on Christmas Day. If I were to stay here again, I would only consider a ground floor unit.

You pay for parking here. I almost never pay when I rent a condo in Whistler Village or Village North, but for some reason the Blackcomb properties usually charge.

Neutral: if you need groceries or want to walk to dinner, you'll either need to take the bus or walk up and down about 200 yards of ski slope. There's no real grocery at Blackcomb so you need to walk about 15 minutes to the one in Whistler (or bus). So this unit is best for people that load up on groceries and are planning on staying in at night, or who don't mind being further from stores and restaurants.

We stayed here on a Groupon purchase, so the value was very good for the money. We had multiple reasons for being in Whistler: seeing friends, attending a wedding, and getting in some mountain biking.

Pretty much saw the same front desk staff person the entire time we were there, and she was very helpful (though I imagine a little overworked). Check in was efficient, though you are given a lot of "stuff" (key cards, fob for entry into bike locker and pool area, and towel cards). We noticed that every door had a different entry system so I assume each owner installs what they want.

Parking was $15/day, which we were informed of in advance of our arrival. Bikes are not allowed in the condo (fair enough--they can do a lot of damage) and there is a bike locker in the parkade. We did not park our bikes there because it is not in the gated area of the parkade, so we didn't feel it was as safe as locking it directly to our car. Bike thefts are not uncommon in Whistler.

Suite was a standard 1-bedroom condo. Wireless was available, kitchen appeared to have everything you would need (we didn't use it much). We were on the main floor so we had to make sure to lock our windows and balcony doors before departing, but that's pretty standard. Hot water was intermittent, but we didn't find it to be an issue given the warm weather so we just let the front desk know when we checked out (they said they would look into it). They accommodated a late checkout, which was very helpful as I believe standard checkout time was 10:00 am.

Location was great, especially since we don't like to be in the heart of Whistler. We usually stay on the Blackcomb side because it's a little quieter, especially in the evening. A short walk along well-travelled trails gets you to Whistler village quickly, and even faster on bikes.

Didn't try the pool but it seemed to be busy most of the day.

This is not a place you would stay if you're looking for pampering, valet parking, housekeeping, and turn down service. This is a "do it yourself" kind of place, and it is likely popular with families, groups of friends, and those that like to cook their own food while on vacation. We've stayed here in winter (for skiing) and in summer (for mountain biking) and the location really can't be beat. Otherwise, it's a good condo, of the standard you would expect with short term rentals.

We stayed here with a group of families attending a kids baseball tournament hosted by W histler. The room was very large, we had a 1 bedroom suite with a king bed in the bedroom and a pullout queen size in the couch. Our room was located across from the pool and we were able to access from our large sundeck. The weekend we were there happened to be the warmest day of the summer so far, so great to have the pool so close...but not so great in the room without Air conditioning. It was 35 celsius during the day and we couldn't cool down the room at night. Needless to say we had very little sleep the 2 nights we were there.
Other than the AC issue, not a bad hotel to stay in.

We stayed here as a group participating in the Tough Mudder competition in June 2012. We had a two bedroom, two bathroom, unit with full kitchen. The full-kitchen really helped cut our dining-out costs down as we ate over half our meals in the unit. There was a pull-out couch in the living room as well, and a small dining area. There was a covered deck off the dining area to enjoy some fresh-air. This was a great place to stay and I think we'd stay here in the Winter to ski as well because of it's proximity to the lifts. It is also an easy walk to restaurants. We ate at Milestones which is only about a two minute walk down a trail along the ski area. It is also only about a 20 minute walk into the Whistler Village via trails, although you can also stick to the roads. The unit we had was well stocked with towels, blankets and pillows. The unit as a whole was in great condition. We were not in the room much, but they did have a radio, tv, dvd player, etc. The complex does have a pool and hot-tubs which always had people in them, but we didn't try them out. We had to pay $15/day for parking through a machine in the lobby. When we arrived we had time to park, drop our gear in our room, and straight to the lobby to buy a parking pass (total of about 15 minutes), and by the time we got back to the parking area, there was a guy walking around handing out tickets. So when you arrive, make sure you get your parking pass immediately! Overall a great stay, and we'll likely stay there again.
