My extended family booked a Christmas vacation to Whistler and stayed at the Marquise room 611. I realize that costs go up during this popular time and I don't know the costs of other properties but room 611 cost from $550 to $950 per night during our stay. I would say that the Marquise facilities are equal to that of a Days Inn type motel. Adequate but that's it. We were also led to believe that Marquise is slope side. It is NOT. You can technically cross the street and ski the make-shift trail to the Blackcomb village but it is not downhill so skiers will have to use their poles and boarders will have to walk it or take the bus.

As for unit 611, this unit is in desperate need of updating. I understand that the units are individually owned and rented so the owner of 611 really needs to invest a little money to make the stay comfortable. The single bed I stayed in felt like sleeping on the slopes. It was tilted to one side so the first night I slept poorly because I was trying not to fall out of the bed. The next night I put the mattress on the floor which helped but that didn't prevent being able to feel all the coils in the mattress as you try to sleep. The pillows in the units all felt like bags of tennis balls. The queen size beds in the unit both had a metal bar in the middle of the bed which is fun to sleep in. The sheets were also pretty old. The TV also did not work when we got there and after calling the manager and spending hours with him on 2 separate days he got the cable guy to run a cable from another unit through the hallway and into the front door of 611 and so we finally got TV after the 3rd day. There was also a problem with the cooktop (which the manager was able to fix pretty quickly). Basically, the unit is old and needs to be updated. It needs new beds, bedding and proper cable TV and perhaps internet access. That said, I would still not stay there again.

To be fair, they gave us an extra night to compensate us for the troubles but is was not really worth the headache (and backache!).

The only upside to this trip was the day at the spa and the skiing on the mountain....not much went well in the condo. The bathtub didn't drain properly, the bed was uncomfortable, the sheets were stained, didn't have enough toilet paper...only one roll for four people. They didn't clean the room daily so we ran out of towels. The games room area had no games in it just a fridge and a couch. The sauna and the hot tub and the pool were nice, so was the gym. They should make the sauna larger though, its only a two man. Maybe change the games room into a larger sauna??? Internet didn't work...had to get someone to fix it. The noise of the boiler kept us up all night long.

Don't stay there if you're looking for value for your dollar...then again we didn't pay much...for Whistler.

Great location! Very clean, large unit. We will definitely stay here again.

We used Whistler Premier Resort Accomodations for our booking at the Marquise. We went to check in where we were told in Whistler Village and then were informed to go to the hotel. When we arrived at the hotel the front desk was empty, someone eventually showed up. After checking in and confirming it was OK to leave our vehicle out front to unload, when we were coming down for our second load we were in the process of being towed. When we got in the room the dishwasher was full, there was no garbage can and none of the dishes were all mismatched. We did have a nice view. Upon leaving my son left his wallet in the bedside table of the bedroom. After four phone calls to both the head of housekeeping and the Whistler Premier office I never recieved a phone call back from anyone. I wouldn't use Whistler Premier services ever again.
