The cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed in!

This was my fiancé and I’s first time in Whistler. We were gifted a week stay at the Clock Tower Hotel. I’m unsure of how a timeshare works and all, but this hotel was simply 5 stars. Of course, the only down side being there is no elevator. As a former housekeeper, I know what is clean and what is not. The suite we booked into was simply IMMACULATE. I did not enjoy Whistler as a whole, but I definitely loved coming back to our room to relax and sleep. Since the hotel is in the middle of the village, the noise levels were above average. I love the sound of night-life though, so this did not bother me. If I ever come back to Whistler, I hope to stay here again. This was my fiancé and I’s first time in Whistler.

Great location, not such a great hotel

The room (studio) was small. When I booked it was not made clear that the bed was a murphy bed - not the worst, but not what I was expecting. As I arrived late, check in took around 45 minutes waiting for someone to show up to hand over keys. The hotel is fairly noisy itself - starting at 8 AM, doors opening/slamming closed as staff comes in to the hallway (my room was right by they laundry and stairway), plus they are doing construction below for the next month that starts at 8 am too. Definitely not a place where you can relax and sleep late on a rainy morning. While they advertise a guest laundry room, it is only available to guest for a few hours in the evening, and only when the staff isn't using the 3 machines for laundering sheets/towels/etc. The room (studio) was small.

Great location, but maybe not with the windows open...

Meghan and Pete, the front desk folks we worked with were great! Very helpful and courteous. The condo (a one bedroom) was well furnished and very comfortable. The location in the heart of the village was convenient and full of energy. The only drawback (besides the hike up to the room, which I chose to call "exercise") was the noise at night. To be fair, we DID have the window open, but I was very surprised at the noise level in the village below. It didn't seem that there were restaurants or bars open right there but each night the noise level would die down about 9pm (whew), only to pick up again at 10, 11, 12, 1, 2am! Just groups of well inebriated people talking loudly, singing loudly, yelling to (and at) each other. A better choice would have been to have the windows closed with the a/c going for some white noise. We just happen to like fresh air. The staff do provide ear plugs. :) Meghan and Pete, the front desk folks we worked with were great! Very helpful and courteous. The condo (a one bedroom) was well furnished and very comfortable.

Nice gem in the Heart of the Village

We are VI members and booked a studio and a studio plus room. Killer location in the middle of everything! Contemporary, excellent interior finishes. Typical VI amenities. These are quite compact units compared to other VI properties we’ve been, but entirely comfortable. Built with skiers in mind. We paid extra for the underground parking which has old school, larger stalls. Heat & AC from through wall units. No elevator so be prepared to carry your things up the interior stairwell. Will definitely stay agin when in Whistler. We are VI members and booked a studio and a studio plus room. Killer location in the middle of everything! Contemporary, excellent interior finishes.

Nice room, fantastic location

The Room: As a family of 3, we found the 1 bedroom accommodations very comfortable. My 10 year old son took over the open loft which has a queen size bed, closet, dresser and lots of windows. We took the main floor bedroom which, while isn't huge, worked just fine for our needs and offers a decently sized closet and a 3 drawer dresser with TV. The bathroom is on the smaller size but was fine for our needs. The shower pressure was good, hot water plentiful (you have your own water tank), the shower has a seat and there is a shower water wand for those who want to just rinse their hair or their feet. There is additional storage in the main area - 2 closets (one with a safe) and a mirror with a ledge and hooks. It used this area to do my make up. The kitchen is well-equipped with an apartment size fridge with freezer, stove, microwave and everything you need to prepare a meal. For coffee, in our unit, there is a regular coffee pot as well as a keurig coffee maker. They provided 4 coffee pods for the first day. Additional pods can be purchased from front desk for $1, or bring your own coffee and use the regular coffee pot that's provided. It was unusually warm weather for during our stay and the AC really helped - especially in the loft. We closed the blinds during the day to help keep the unit cool. At night, we didn't need to the AC but we did use the fan. Our unit was facing the Village Stroll and the fan created white noise and helped to drown out the noise from the late night partiers. Laundry: Available on the 1st floor. We didn't use these but it looks like they are free and laundry soap is available. There are specific hours for Clocktower guests. The Location: Amazing! You're surrounded by shops, restaurants, hotels, grocery stores - everything you need in just less than a 10 minutes walk. Groceries: We picked up some basic supplies in Squamish at the local Walmart (chips, salsa, pasta). We also brought a few items from home (coffee, cereal, water bottle). We picked up perishables here in the village (butter, yogurt and cream) at the IGA and Whistler Grocery Store. Parking: there are a few spots available under the building for $10 per day. You pay for your entire stay and receive a parking pass for a specific space. There are some (or maybe one?) public parking lot available outside of the village - a short walk that might be worth doing if you don't plan to use your car often. Worth visiting: - The Library: we spent over an hour here (my son devours books) and found out as a resident of BC, we could take out books and return them in Victoria! Very comfortable, beautiful space. - Peaks Pies: Tip: Despite how hot the day is, bring a jacket for the evening. The weather really cools down and when the wind picked up we were cold! Good to Know: Whistler is a town that cares about the environment and they encourage recycling and composts - they provide you with lots of instructions but you syo The Room: As a family of 3, we found the 1 bedroom accommodations very comfortable.
