Executive Inn at Whistler Village

The fan was so loud I could not sleep at night. The rest was ok I guess but getting a good night sleep is a minimum expectation from a hotel room.

Pros– Cheap, good location
Cons– not that clean, everything is squeaky, doors, beds, etc.

Shane R said it best. I too think this place sucks. Other than the location this place is a complete waste of money. Don’t be tempted by the cheap price there is a reason for it. If you value cleanliness, peace and quiet, convenience do yourself a dark and stay somewhere else. There were crumbs all over out room especially on the couch and floor. The bathroom sink and toilet did not work right when we checked in. The pool was disgusting. Paper thin walls and blood on the sheets. Two weeks after staying at this place my girlfriend still Itches. We can’t figure out why but she will be seeing a doctor soon and I shutter to think that it could have been from the bed that she slept in.

Finding this place wasn’t easy as there’s a few places with similar names in the area, after finding the correct hotel we were confronted with 2 from desks for different hotels in the same lobby. Confusing.
The room was not clean. The bathrooms were especially heinous. The hot water fluctuates dangerously from warm to scalding. There was no way to control the temperature. The beds were horribly uncomfortable. Coffee was not restocked. Room was not ready when we arrived. Front desk is not staffed most of the time (there’s a phone to get someone) and staff is not customer service oriented.
Only positive was the vicinity to the lifts.

So I’m ranking this as 5 stars based on how much I love this hotel. It’s not a 5 star hotel with fancy everything. The best thing about this hotel is the rooms. To be more specific the loft suites. A small kitchen, balcony overlooking the shops/​walkway, and a queen size bed upstairs in a cozy little loft. By far the most homey feeling rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Amenities aren’t like a full large sized hotel but everything fits our needs just perfectly. Underground parking and Wi-​Fi are available however at a charge. Would be nice to have Wi-​Fi included. All in all recommend booking through their website or calling for the best deals but you can’t go wrong here.

Booked this for a 4 year anniversary. I wanted to get right there in the Village where the action was and i’m really glad that I went with a hotel on the «Stroll».
Was I happy I booked THIS specific hotel? Not really. It wasn’t special enough to make me want to return when i’m sure others on the Stroll are great.
We booked into the Queen Loft with a balcony. First off, this is the only hotel I’ve stayed at that takes the payment for the room upfront (in addition to a $ 100 hold on the credit card). The price of parking killed me a little inside, but I know it’s «whistler pricing» and they don’t give a crap there because people will pay it.
But seriously. $ 50 parking for two nights? And the comedic part is that there are still signs posted everywhere saying «thieves work here». It would make me feel better if it also said .“but we’ll get ‘em because you’ve paid $ 25 a night to park here”. Or «money back guaranteed if your car gets broken into»
The room itself was cute. It had a kitchen, tv and a wood burning fireplace. No wood was provided. We didn’t look into that as there just wasn’t time for a cuddle around the fire. Maybe that’s why you pay upfront — in case you burn the hotel down.
The bed situation was odd. It would be a really cute space if I were the ages of 3 – 10. The a-​line roof forced you to duck to get into bed. I feel bad for the help, working in that tight space to change the bed over.
Lots of people claimed that this place is dirty. I didn’t get that feeling at all. The bathroom was very clean, and the shower is very nice and spacious.
The walls are particularly paper thin. Didn’t mind much. it’s bachelor/​ette city. so they were just having a good time.
To conclude, it was alright, but do your homework on similar hotels in the same area.

Stayed here during the Spring Break Week. Won’t stay here again.
1. Room — The room I booked was supposed to have 1 Queen and 2 Trundle Beds. When we showed up to check-​in, we were told they didn’t have such rooms and we needed to pay $ 40/​day more for an upgrade. I had to call American Express next day to get this resolved, and I sent the Executive Inn folks a copy of my booking that clearly showed the room would have 1 Queen and 2 Trundle beds. At the end they agreed to refund the extra charge for the upgrade. But it’s painful to go through the documentation/​proofs, Amex and Executive Inn management!
2. Pillows/​Towels — We asked for new pillows and towels as they looked unclean. To put it mildly, the evening manager «Hanna» was not the most customer-​oriented person one would come across. When my son called to get new pillows, she said, «I need to check the pillows in the room before giving new ones.» Wow, really?! She sent someone who took the old ones and gave us new ones later.
3. Parking — we paid $ 26/​night to park in their garage. They give a parking spot and a pass to put into the car. Next to our parking spot, someone parked a huge truck that occupied his spot and encroached into ours. We called Hannah and said we parked in a different spot since our spot was partially occupied. She told us that we needed to get a new pass from the lobby (which was in a different building, about 5 min walking) and give the old pass back. Could she not just mark it in her book?! There were quite a few other parking spots left in the garage.
4. Wifi is extra charge. Not a big deal, but these days many hotels include it for free.

We stayed at the Mountainside Lodge building which was booked through and managed by Executive inn. The Mountainside Lodge is an aging property that had lots of issues during our stay. Make sure you’re not bothered by these (otherwise, stay elsewhere –Whistler has tons of other options): 1-​shower temp fluctuates dangerously — i.e. can’t take a hot shower without being scalded. Ended up taking a cold-​to-​warm shower because whenever the water was set at the desired hot temp, it’d cycle from cold to very scalding hot. Extremely disturbing to think that it could’ve been one of our kids taking the shower and being badly burned. 2-​Maintenance came by and had great difficulty acknowledging the problem (also didn’t know how to turn on the shower — I had to say «you pull the handle») –he finally admitted the temperature fluctuation and told me to bathe instead of shower (didn’t pay to stay in a bath only room nor to be told that!) They said it couldn’t be fixed so the evening manager offered to move us from a view room to the ground floor. Problem is she couldn’t guarantee the new room didn’t have the same problem and we decided it was too much of a hassle to change rooms with kids who were already in bed. 3-​Returned one day after a long day of skiing around 5pm to find a note under our door saying: «We have just been informed that the water in the hotel will have to be shut off on Tuesday, Jan. 7 from 10am-​6pm for some important maintenance work to be carried out. Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for any inconvenience.» The evening manager said it’s not related to fixing the shower temperature. NO drinking water, NO toilet, bath, etc. 4-​after the water came back on, it ran yellow with debris. We ran it for about an hour and it didn’t get better so we couldn’t bathe the kids (didn’t improve until the next day). 5-​next day, housekeeping came by to tell us they were working for only another 30min because water was being shut off again from 10−5pm. No advance notice this time. After calling management, they said our wing’s water would not be turned off. 6-​However, later they advised us in advance that water would be turned off the following day from 10 – 5 or 6pm. 7-​As another reviewer noted: we can confirm the hot tub outside is DISGUSTING — kids smelled awful afterwards (and it was not the chlorine). The next day, we saw the hot tub was drained and refilled but we didn’t go back to try it. Whistler Blackcomb has tons of rooms — try to consider others before going here. Unfortunately for us, this was the only place available for a full week and we’re paying high season rates (unreasonably high given the extremely low quality we’re experiencing).

Avoid room 302. Unless you have a petite waist and don’t mind sliding your rear up and across the sink vanity to enter the bathroom. I’ve used RV lavatories that were more spacious. The bathroom door opens less than halfway due to the location of the toilet. Place is dated, peeling paint on deck exterior, dingy carpet, doorknobs that felt like they were falling apart. Upside, just a few paces from just about everything in the village. Staff was cheerful and attentive.

First time here stayed overnight, we booked online because of their low season special rate & I google the address… thought it would be a no brainer to find. Not so, it took us more than half an hour going thru 3 different hotels with the help of other hotel’s employee and my iPhone’s GPS to locate the hotel?! My comment: please get a more UNIQUE name other than Executive xxx or xxxx Inn or xxxxx at the Village… it would be a big help for the first time customers! Parking is underground with secured elevator, $ 20 per night.
Other than the name thing & no free wifi & could be noisy from the street outside at times, everything is cool!
3 & half star my rating.

There’s a lot of things that we love about this place but some things we don’t love so much.
Pros
–Amazing location; just a few mins away from the lifts and in the centre of Whistler Village and access to many shops and restaurants
–We usually get the loft which comes with a fireplace and open kitchen area
Cons
–Since it is in the centre of the village, it can get pretty noisy at night. I am not a light sleeper so it doesn’t bother me too much but my boyfriend is a light sleeper so it bothers him a bit
–Check in time is 4pm which is really late I think is really late
–Reduced Parking for guests is limited so make sure you get there early
–No free wi-​fi which is a bit ridiculous considering the rooms are not cheap

This place seemed like a dream come true — it was well priced, we got a loft room with a balcony and hot tub, it had enough room for both myself, my husband and our 6 year old daughter. The location is quite central in Whistler Village, which turned out great for me — I was 6 months pregnant at the time and husband & daughter were off skiing, so I ventured through the village a few times.
We were there for a weekend a few months back, and suffice to say, despite the bad room service (basically non-​existent) and awkward staff, THE HOT TUB WAS NOT CLEAN.
My daughter and husband both went into the hot tub after skiing, on both nights, and both found rashes on their bodies the subsequent day. On Monday we arrived home, went to the doctor, he took samples but said it was most likely the hot tub, simply stated «hot tub rash». Results came back and it was confirmed.
I had telephoned the hotel, emailed the hotel, as well as their «manager» (who sends you many emails AFTER your stay asking about how it went, but obviously doesn’t actually reply to your emails). NO ONE EVER rectified the situation. Nobody called back. After about 3 or 4 weeks I just gave up.
I will never ever stay in this hotel again. Beware the hot tub.

It is quite hard to find the place because it is just a door off the alley. The lobby is a desk in a corner. It is a good location, right in the village, but seems way overpriced to me. The hallways smelled like there had been a fire. The bed was upstairs in a loft that was way too small. The only other thing in the loft was one night table and a dresser. Oh and a mirror that you couldn’t use because the loft was too small. We had to climb over each other to get in and out of bed. You had to go downstairs to go to the bathroom, change your clothes or turn around for that matter. They charge for wi-​fi — what is WITH that? No pool etc, no bathtub. .. the porch was in pretty rough shape.
You couldn’t watch tv from the bed (it was in the loft) and you couldn’t really watch it in the cramped space below either. It was small. There was no desk no table, no room.
I don’t know, if you just want a place to crash find a better place. If you want a place to hang out in a bit, find another place.

I loveeeeed this hotel, the loft concept is amazing, it has everything you need to stay there and not go out in the cold hehehe, kitchen had everything, very complete, price amazing, the only bad thing was that the heather wasn’t enough for downstairs specially the bathroom it was kind of cold, and the fireplace was not good enough, they only gave us 1 log that lasted 4 hrs only :(

Meh… This place is just alright.
For starters, this place was not very spacious and not very comfortable. We were told that our room was going to have a queen bed and a loft… instead what we got was a queen bed in the loft. So, there was no actual bedroom; just a bed in a loft. Besides having no bed room, there was no real room too place your luggage/​bags. Because there was limited space our luggage was just placed in a space that could accommodate it and that would be most out of the way. On the up side, there was big closet space which is useful when having to hang up wet snowboard clothes. Although the room was very small I wasn’t too upset about that but I was very unpleased how uncomfortable the bed was. The bed was said to be a queen but it actually felt like two twins pushed together because the bed seemed to be very caved in in the middle of the bed. Also, the pillows were like sleeping with a log under your head. They were very thick and not soft at all. I found that the bed was making me more sore then the all day snowboarding. And if you’re sore and looking to relax in a sauna or jacuzzi, then you are looking at the wrong hotel because there is nothing offered here.
The advantage of staying here is its PERFECT location. It is nearly in the heart of the Whistler Village next to all of the bars, restaurants, and shops. Not only are all the accommodations right outside the hotel, the main lifts to get up the mountain are literally just a two minute walk from the hotel.
This place wasn’t too bad for my trip because I was basically only in the hotel for sleeping. Otherwise I would be on the mountain snowboarding in the village shopping, or out at a restaurant or bar. So, if you are looking for a cheap stay and just use the room to sleep in then this place is a good deal. But if you can afford to spend a little more, then I recommend that you do so.

Ok! I am all for a fun cheap get aways with my other half but seriously this was not the place for us.
If you are at all concerned with cleanliness, thread count, or noise then you need to look elsewhere for a place to stay. Upon entering the room I was shocked to see that it had not been updated since Valley of the dolls was still in theaters. The bed was uncomfortable, the T. V was as small as my cellphone, and don’t get me started with the bath tub. It was classified as a whirlpool tub but who knew you would have to know how to mountain reppel just to get in the tub, it was about 5 feet deep and I didn’t have my carabina hooks. Once filling the tub I hoisted myself in and enjoyed what was left of a bad experience, not unto my dismay that I would not be able to get out of the tub with out assistance. Now most of you are wondering how old I am and by this review you would think I am in my early 80’s… well I am still in my 30’s.
second off is the amount of noise. If you value your sleep, then this won’t work for you. the hotel is located right on the strip which funnels 100’s of people down it nightly either on their way to the bar or from.
no recommendation from this Unilocaler.
