Whistler Town Plaza - Bear Lodge

Great location and previous comments about street noise from Garfinkel's were accurate however the ear plugs were much appreciated and two out of three people in our group were not bothered at all by the noise.

Hot tub location in another building was a bit inconvenient but the condition and cleanliness of the hot tub and workout room and locker rooms was very nice. I would recommend this property for younger friends and people with dogs but probably will not return due to the noise challenge.

Conveniently located and a huge balcony with bbq that was a bonus

I would recommend the property but with a couple of buts. First, if yo are a renter, check the property for any damage right when you arrive. I have notified the owner about broken closet door on the third day, and I was charged for that like if I broke it.

Second, it's very noisy at night - a popular bar right across, so make sure you bring your ear plugs. The condo was clean and everything was there as described. The carpet is old and in poor condition though, in need of replacement. It's definitely not something major, unless a tenant is made to pay for that update :(

I would highly recommend this property to rent!!! It very well maintained and very clean. The location was fantastic!! For a 1 bed 1 bath we were very impressed as to how spacious it was and it had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The property owner was very helpful to deal with. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location, well kept property and very accommodating owner - had the best xmas ever - looking forward to going back soon.

I loved staying here. It is located a stones throw from a night club that has loud customers coming and going from 10 pm to 2 am 4 nights a week. If you are cool with that then this is your place. Located above the village stroll, close to everything you need. Food, shopping, entertainment, a drug store, grocery store and coffee shops.

The unit itself is very spacious for a one bedroom unit. Extra wide kitchen and bathroom and doorways. The gondolas are about a 5-7 minute walk away. The outdoor skating rink is close by and great for little kids. Free parking was excellent as not all units offer this. The wifi was fast and easy to connect to. The murphy bed and the futon were actually comfortable and not lumpy or full of springs. That's a first.

The deck outside is almost as big as the condo. Seriously. It must be fun in the summer to people watch from above. Too cold though in December. I hope to stay here again.

Condo is in a fantastic location, close to everything. Property was super clean and the owners were easy to work with. Will definitely come back!

I loved everything about this property including the location - right on the main strip, the cleanliness, the size. All the tiny details were taken care of - even the toilet paper was high quality (haha)! We would definitely recommend this property to anyone coming to stay in beautiful Whistler.

Being pet friendly is a key discriminatory for this property. The central Whistler location is great, though a little noisy at night from the street if you need to leave the windows open. The unit is well equipped and very comfortable. The huge deck is a real bonus. We are looking forward to returning to the property in the future.

We had a wonderful time this weekend. We love how the kitchen has everything you need and a little more. We appreciate all the extra pillows and blankets when needed. The a/c saved us this weekend. It was crazy hot and I do not know what I would have done without that a/c!! We appreciate how clean everything is every time we rent out this condo and love how you provide free parking and wifi. The only thing I could say that was a negative was the toilet. It was not flushing properly because there seems to be a piece that hits the top of the toilet lid when you flush. So you have to keep the toilet lid off when you flushed. Other than that we had a wonderful time this weekend!! Thank you for the extra day we really appreciate you always trying to make our get away that much better!

We had a wonderful Christmas break here. The apt was huge, with every amenity catered for including plenty of towels and even DVDs to watch! The bed was extremely comfortable, with soft pillow top and nice linens, like a hotel - I didn't want to get up! Best location, central to everything and fun watching life below from the spacious balcony. We weren't disturbed by the nightclub, and got good sleeps. The only night we heard the party goers was Christmas night, and it didn't bother us at all, it was Christmas afterall and everyone is enjoying themselves so we didn't mind. The hosts thoughtfully provided plenty of ear plugs in bedside drawer, but we only used on Christmas night and got a great night sleep. My husband is very fussy and hates noise, but this place passed his test and he really enjoyed. A lovely homely feeling, spacious, central and attentive hosts who handled our booking well. Thank you for an unforgettable Christmas in Whistler, highly recommended!

Pros: Large balcony with patio furniture and BBQ, spacious bathroom (which seemed clean), decent sized condo and relatively spacious for 2 people, convenient and central location in the Village, free parking and bike storage. The kitchen is relatively well equipped to meet basic needs.

Cons: Noisy. Unit is on 2nd floor, facing the village stroll and located directly across from Garfinkel's (which is probably a good thing for young people who want to party. Not so good for us old people who just want to get some sleep after a day of hiking, biking, walking, exploring). People milling about outside, talking loudly and smoking until 3am. The card reader for the building entrance was not operating (apparently for weeks according to other tenants) and we could not enter the building after check-in. We had to go back to the check-in counter, which is in another building Deer Lodge, to obtain a code to enter our building Bear Lodge.

Unit is dated but that isn't an issue IF the place is clean. Unit was very dusty. They tried to cover up the musty scent with overpowering artificial room fragrance. Carpet is very dirty and in desperate need of replacement. Sofas / futon / murphy bed in rough shape, did not look or feel clean and should be replaced. Bedding / bed linens are old and scratchy. Towels were plentiful but thin. The only room that seemed clean, thankfully, was the bathroom. Air conditioner is noisy and blows away from the rest of the condo towards the balcony door and consequently takes a long time to cool (yes, we closed all the doors and windows). It was during one of the hottest weekends in Whistler.

Overall, the cons were far greater than the pros and the stay was disappointing, especially since the unit had so much potential.
