Le Chamois by Whistler Premier

Overall: The location is phenomenal!! The room I stayed in was clean, bright, and extremely comfortable. Amazing view of the mountains. Hotel staff was friendly. But I do not think I would return to this hotel due to lack of privacy – as a tip to management, you should not place guests in rooms directly adjacent to active maintenance. And if you have to place guests in these rooms, then maybe offer a discount or a perk. I didn't have a warning for most of the negatives and communication would have helped.

Negatives – as woman traveling alone, and it was distressing to wake up to men directly outside of my window. Of course they were just doing maintenance work on the balcony, but I wasn't aware of it and it was not a comfortable environment with strangers donning blow torches outside my room (every day of my visit). I wanted to open my window for fresh air, but there was burning tar outside. I couldn’t open my blinds without making eye contact with a stranger. I don’t understand why they are booking guests in rooms on the second floor balcony while they are repairing the second floor balcony. On my last day, maintenance asked if they could come into my room to replace the air filter. I said I'd prefer them not to because I was in a meeting but they insisted they had to. I was checking out in less than 24 hours, why couldn’t they replace the filter tomorrow when the room was unoccupied? I can’t imagine needing to specify this, but for solo women its uncomfortable to have strangers outside my window and inside my room, the hotel should make effort to ensure guest privacy. Other minor negatives – the water in the shower was cold 3/4 days. That was a bummer, even Motel 6 has hot water. The hot tub was closed 2/4 days. The blinds in the bedroom wouldn’t open above knee height - I understand that prevents guests from flashing passersby, but I would recommend blinds that lower from the top so that there is still the ability to use the window.

The location was great. Skiing was made easy with the gondola a short distance away. They had ski valet which is nice. The room 404 however is mediocre at best. The chairs have old stains, my shower towel had hair in it, the shower grout had a lot of mold, and the other shower's shower curtain had pink stinky mold all over the bottom. They get enough money to at least switch out/wash the shower curtains. You get a small trash bin and apparently when you fill them up you're to take it out to the trash shoot yourself. The drinking glasses were pretty thin they would break easily just tapping the side of the sink. At the end of the week, I grew to really like the location and view that I would stay near here again but definitely try another place.

There needs to be more information given about the parking situation 25 a day is alot to swallow. There were 2 heaters and a dyson fan but no instructions or remotes for any of them. You needed an engineering segree to get hot water in the shower.
