"Great stay at a quiet location. Pool and jacuzzi area is surrounded by the trees which creates cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Older hotel but very clean. The room is supplied with all you need with a full size fridge and a dishwasher."
"It was a basic hotel. Not special expensive for what you get and they charge you 30$ a day for parking. But I guess it is whistler so you get what you get. "
"Excellent place and the beds were so comfortable super close walk to everything in whistler village and bonus was having the old spaghetti factory inside! The pool could maybe be a bit bigger but it’s not something to prevent us from coming back in the future. This will definitely be our go to hotel going forward. Lots of dogs were there as well cause it’s free for pets even though we were on kid free time."
"This hotel is in very poor condition and was not clean. Hard to believe a property like this would exist in a world class city like Whistler. The first room we checked into was very beaten up and did not feel clean. Ripped carpets and lots of markings on the walls. We were moved to a new room as the outlets in the bedroom did not work. There was also a faulty heater in the room that would not turn off. The second room was in better condition but had a terrible smell and several things made me question the cleanliness of the room, it was also not the bed type we booked and paid a premium for which was needed to accommodate our young child. We were tired so made due with the new room. I was contacted several times via email throughout my stay to ask how my stay was going. I shared about the smell in the new room and wrong bed type but no one ever responded. What’s the point in even asking if you are not going to respond. The last thing I will say is that this hotel is above a night club, the walls were vibrating from the bass until 2:30am. Unless you are planning to be down there partying, I would avoid this hotel. "
"The room is clean and everything we need is there. It's amazing that we can get to spend our day as we can cook and laundry our clothes. We also have a great view by the pool and mountain. It is such an amazing experience to book at cascades Lodge Whistler. I will definitely be back for another stay soon. Thanks!"
