The Marquise at Whistler Premier

We didn't read the fine print about checking in ahead of time. Once we had checked in, all was well.

Our stay was very nice. The room was comfortable, if not incredibly modern. Everything worked and the room was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There's no daily cleaning, but that's fine if you're there for the mountain, and not the room. Easy bus access made getting to and from the Village a breeze, but if you're out late, keep an eye on the bus schedules.

Property is dated. Roomy enough, but a long walk to the lifts or shopping in bad weather.

Overall we had a positive experience. Location was perfect for what we needed (close to Ironman activities). Amenities were great including the pool and gym access. The unit was clean, had everything we were looking for in the fully stocked kitchen, as well as offered toiletries (shampoo and conditioner) which was a nice touch. There wasn't anyone working at the hotel/condo lobby front desk for the duration of our stay, so when questions arose, for example with the underground parking, we had to call the check-in hotel (located down the hill in the Whistler village). They didn't seem to know specifics about the underground parking in the building, and told us to talk to the worker at the front desk in our building, however there wasn't anyone there for our 3 days. Clearly there was a disconnect as the check in facility and our condo site didn't communicate regularly... A downside... our unit overlooked the front entrance. There was a designated smoking area to the left of our balcony, and throughout our stay we could smell cigarette smoke.

Nice big room with separate bed quarters. Great for those sports where it's nice to have room to put gear on and organize

My wife & I enjoyed a clean & relaxing Marquis #207 showing only minor problems --- the microwave plate skidded, the 4-place table tilted, one chair back & the toilet seat were loose. In contrast my youngest daughter & her son found Marquis #212 excellent throughout, including all furniture & equipment plus WiFi for getting daily hill weather reports.

No front desk a pain but ...

Nice room, good location about 15 minute walk from the village. The radiant heat in the room was very high, in the hallway and in the room. We were able to find the controls for the room heat, but the corridor remained extremely hot all weekend. The cable and wifi were very spotty to non-existent.

We have visited Whistler often in the passed 30 + tears. The Marquise looks fine from the exterior, ok walking distance to the village, shuttle bus service was fine. The weather was extremely hot, and smokey. The air conditioner was old and barely generated any cool air. We had one fan for the entire suite and that was totally inadequate. The fridge took forever to cool anything and the heat it generated only added to the temperature in the room. The bathroom pocket door worked poorly if at all and you had to use 2 hands to open & close it, you could see how people tried to close it before by the scuffed paint, needs replacing. The parking is expensive, but who wants to leave a $100,000 vehicle on the street?? There was a miniscule patio, totally useless, one "small wooden kitchen chair" on it. Cookware is ancient, needs replacing, Teflon wore out and scratched---is not healthy to use scratched up frying pans. Toaster was two sided with only one element that worked on each side. Coffee pot is ancient, makes lousy coffee. Towels were poor and some had holes in them. Blinds should be changed to those that block out the afternoon heat and light for obvious reasons. Also ---Why put a track flood lights above the vanity mirror--3 of them ---far too bright???

Nice set up with complete kitchen comfortable bed easy access to the village Parking is too expensive
