its about 50 meters from the Wizard chair lift on Blackcomb side. a few restaurants within 20 meter radius. we had a 1 bedroom with a large bed and a pull down bed with 2 baths. a bit tight but adequate for 3. no kitchen, but a sink, small frig, and microwave. they cleaned and made the bed, and changed towels every day. i think they also changed sheets. pool and hot tub is small but was never crowded. small gym with treadmill and eliptical. ski shop in the building for rentals. not extravagant but quite convenient.

breakfast next door at Dirk and Bernie was good. dinner at Milestones was reasonably priced with friendly service. There is sushi next door but didn't try it.
on this trip also age at Keg, Earl's, Ric's grill, chinese bistro, and a few others. Ric's was ok but poor service. Keg had good steaks. Earl was a nice bar / restaurant with good food. Chinese was ok. 21 steps kitchen was great. Garibaldi's Lift co at the mountain base has the best mushroom soup ever.

My wife and I stayed here as I had an event for work next door at the Fairmont in May 2011. Le Chamois was excellent value in for the Upper Village in Whistler at about half the price of the Fairmont. Parking was fairly cheap (by Whistler standards) at 18$. It has a rooftop pool and hot tub which were small, but had no one in them so it was great. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby in the upper village including two in the hotel. The room was very spacious with a hot tub right in the room, living area and bedroom. It is a 5 minute walk on a path to the lower village and all the shopping that has to offer. As well, while it was not ski season, there is ski in and out service when there is snow as you can see the BlackComb ski lift from the window of the rooms. I highly recommend this place as an alternative to the Fairmont if you cannot afford it. We paid 100$ a night.

We have been to Whistler every year for the summer for the past four years and have stayed at the same place at Creekside, so this year we decided to try something different. Somewhere not too noisy like in the middle of the Village and we had been to Upper Village and thought it was a quiet enough for us. We selected Le Chamois since it was reasonably priced for the holiday weekend and close to everything. Thumbs up for the quiet rooms we didn't hear any of the other guests though we did see them in the elevators. Great sound proof windows cause we faced the main walk way where the Farmer's Market is and we couldn't hear them setting up, even with the windows open we could hardly hear the noise from below (we were on the fourth floor). The studio we had was spacious. We loved watching all the activities on the slope and below from the room. Service was nice and friendly. Now for the things we weren't so impress with-- the bed was hard, I woke up in the middle of the night with some aches and realized that sleeping on my side was making me ache.... bed is okay if you mostly sleep on your back. For a large space we only had the sofa-- would have liked an arm chair by the window, the dining style chairs with very thin padding were not comfortable. The TV was small and not HD, I mean it doesn't have to be a huge HD, a 23" would have been fine. We couldn't find any hotel info in the room, like a folder of hotel services, emergency info or even a TV listing, you know, the tourist magazines and info you usually find on the coffee table or by the bedside. Lighting was really weird, there was a floor lamp set in an empty space by the jacuzzi when we could have used it by the sofa. A table lamp was by another set of uncomfortable chairs. I couldn't read on the sofa because of the lack of lighting, there was no room to move the floor lamp to the sofa without someone potentially tripping on the cord and no overhead light above the sofa (there was overhead light in the space where the floor lamp is-- without any seating). The bathroom was spacious fitting with the size of the room but was somewhat out dated. The shower door didn't have a handle on the inside so closing it to keep the water from splashing out was confusing (had to push the door at hinge hard for it to slam and the magnetic closure to attract), and the some re-grouting would be good. Hopefully the room is going to get a make over soon because it the photos on the website looked better. We would stay here again for the location and price--- and if it was a different room.

From the first moment we tried to check in, it was downhill from there.
Their system was down and took over an hour just to see if there was a room available.
We were not told our room number, I had to go back and ask as I was heading to the elevator.
The fan in the bedroom was not working, so opened all the windows and tons of bugs came in ( no screens). the heat lamp was burnt out as well as a bathroom bulb. Not very well maintained.
The bed was so hard, I had to put the extra cover and 4 pillows under the sheet, just so I could have a decent sleep.
The front desk was not very friendly or helpful. I tried to get service from them and they hard a hard time,just trying to understand a few simple requests.
We had to and buy our own toilet paper, because the stuff there was so thin.
Our room keys were deactivated, before we even checked out.
We requested a late check out, and was told we would have to pay the full rate. We would be there for an extra 4 hours, not 24! The front desk said there was no housekeeping on Sunday Sept 4th. 2011. Therefore we had to pay the full rate??? So why would I pay full rate for 4 hours when no one would clean that room till Monday anyway?
Sunday rolls around and, housekeeping comes knocking at out door at 11:15 am.
WOW..... Do they really know what's going on there.
