Just came back after spending 9 nights at the Blackcomb Lodge. I have been twice to the 4 seasons before but this time was travelling with a group of friends so decided to try something different. I booked early without reading the reviews and got a bit concerned after seeing some of the comments here. If you are looking for a family holiday this might not be the best place for you. However if you are up for partying, skiing and enjoying the real Whistler this is one of the best accommodations available. Located right in the middle of all the action - Buffalo Bill's, Tommy Africa's, Maxxfisch, Moe Joe's are all within 2 min walk, the lifts are 5 min walk away, pharmacy and supermarket just right in front of it plus plenty of restaurants and fast food within a minute. It can get noisy at night as plenty of people are outside partying but you run this risk anywhere if you decide to stay in the village. We booked the studio loft, room 220. Turned out to be much more spacious than in the pictures, the room was clean, we had a flatscreen with dvd player and cable tv, free wireless, 2 balconies. We were 4 people but had friends crashing over all the time. There were 4 single beds and a double sleeping sofa - so yup, it really can sleep 6 and won't be too tight. The room cleaning service was not that great but if you asked them to do it they were on top of it. Overall I can recommend this place for group of friends who want to have fun and enjoy Whistler for less money. If you are up for romantic trip or a family holiday might be better to look at something in the Upper Village.
