This review pertains specifically to Unit #28 at Alpine Greens in Whistler, B.C., that is described by the owners, amusingly, as a “luxury townhouse”. If nothing else, the owners have a tremendous sense of humor.
Make no mistake about it. This unit is far from luxurious. At best, during peak season, this is a $350 a night property until such time as significant upgrades have been completed.
The furnishings appear to have been cobbled together from bits and pieces either left over from a basement suite or acquired at various second hand stores. They could not even remotely be described as “luxurious”.
The kitchen is poorly equipped with various leftover pots and pans, cutlery and utensils. The BBQ is as cheap a unit as you could find. Granite counters or stainless appliances? Not a chance. Cheap counters and cheap appliances.
The third bedroom consists of two wobbly ancient bunk bed setups, with broken lights.
The “luxury ensuite bathroom” has a tiny shower and a big bathtub. There was nothing special about the ensuite, unless you find heated floors, which are pretty common in Canada, to be “luxurious.
The TV in the living room was an old cathode ray tube model. We can’t even remember the last time we saw one of these units in a "luxury rental".
The sheets and towels are what you would find at a discount hotel. At $700+ a night during peak season, one expects a bath sheet to be something larger than a postage stamp, and a decent supply available.
The overall maintenance of the premises is substandard, as is evidenced by the pictures provided. For example, the owners haven’t even bothered to install appropriate hooks to hang ski gear in the entry way to the premises. It’s a ski condo……..
Cleanliness was poor, with a disgusting, rotting piece of vegetable matter found in the sheets of the pullout couch that had obviously not been cleaned in weeks.
The owners appear to have spent very little, if anything, to maintain the property to the degree commensurate with the rent charged.
Take your business elsewhere.
