Don't be put off by the appearance of the lobby, elevator, and hallway smell (which is very mild): the rooms are fine for the price. As said by others, rooms are a bit outdated (think 80s maybe) but have everything you need and seems like they've been updated a bit. Everything worked fine and was quite clean. I would stay here again over renting a condo at Powderhorn: larger, more roomy, "felt" better. The single elevator WAS a bit odd, but we never had a problem getting it straight away.

One thing to think about: it's a pet-friendly hotel, so if you don't like dogs, may want to think twice. We heard dogs barking for their owners around 5pm through 6pm (who probably were dining in the village)... we love dogs so it didn't matter but I sure wanted to find the dog and give it a hug! Shuttle service is fine but you don't need it: it's just up a little hill, then down to the Westin, turn right and walk up into the village. The shuttle drops you near the Westin anyway, so it's worth the little walk.

Bed firm, towels could use some fabric softener, but lots of room. Internet for CAD $4.95/ night. Also you can leave your car there on the day you check out so that you can ski all day. Garage is a bit downhill from the lobby so it's "outside" you go ... into the elements. We booked this through the Whistler Accommodations "special deal" site where they don't tell you where you're reserving until you pay, but it was fine. Don't worry about this one: it's not the Westin, but it works just fine.

Our first time to Whistler on a very cold 2 days. The Tantalus was in an excellent location, the room was large, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-equipped and the fireplace was cozy. The only drawback was the the hot tubs were across the road - rather inconvenient on a very cold day.

2 BedRm was spartan in design but everything worked right. Front desk very friendly and helpful. One single small elevator for the whole place was real odd. Easy walking distance to village. Nice lobby. Convenient shuttle service in beat up old van gets you up and over the short walking hill to the entry gate of the village, readily available during ski hours.

Very nice hotel in a perfect location ( 5 minutes walk from the village). Rooms are outdated but large with kitchen, fireplace, living room area etc. Rooms got cleaned every day. Staff at the hotel is very pleasant and helpful. Overall, great experience.
