Nice quiet place, 1 pool and 3 hot tubs were great amenities, 10 minute walking access to Whistler village also nice. Washer, dryer, dishwasher. 3 fans and AC in unit. Toiletries could use an upgrade. No hand soap provided. TV’s were small And dated. No access to streaming apps. Easy parking and friendly efficient communication with property management made it for quick check in check out.

Didn’t get what we paid for room configuration check in and check out were to early and to late Had an event there and was very disappointing Do not like to get an email stating we have to do the cleaning recycling due to lack of staff excuse when you are paying tip $$$ dirty kids underwear found in the bedroom no air conditioner in room only in the one bedroom and did not cool the room but made the bedroom uncomfortable as we were so cold trying to cool off the rest of the unit. We only book suit conditioned hotel rooms in the summer especially when it was over 30 degrees would like some compensation $$ taken off as it was not what we booked

Hi JanI am so sorry to hear that this unit was not cleaned to our standard. Otherwise, I do find this review unsettling. We are clear and honest about air conditioning provided - we do not advertise as the building is not equipped to handle it for every room in the condo. The unit you stayed in was the one you requested. As with all vacation rentals, we ask that garbage and recycling be taken out - this is a standard in the industry. Most hotels can provide in-room air conditioning, but not condo complexes like Aspens. For additional services, you might be better suited to a more full-service hotel for future stays.

We decided to extend our stay by one more night. The process itself was not as easy as we did hope, but ok. The annoying part: we didn't get the new door code so we stood in front of a locked door. After calling we received a new code that didn't work either. But IT finally worked out.

Overall really impressed with all the gear in the kitchen and bathroom. All well stocked. The place was great. Sofas aren’t comfy but they are new and clean. My only issue is 10am checkout is too early. Also taking your own garbage and recycle out I think is really not something a hotel should have you do on check out day. I would stay here again.

Amazing unit, amazing location and great staff!
Check-in was easy and efficient (online). The unit (366) was very nice and updated). The kitchen well stocked with everything we needed and more. The sofas looked brand new. The TVs were newer (bit small) and the unit had a Bluetooth speaker to play music as well. Everything was super clean. Only complaints were the washer didn’t work and about 3/4 of the power outlets weren’t working either. I’d suggest a tv in the second bedroom as a bonus. The master bath had a huge shower and big tub to soak in! Will be back!!!

Good stay, great value.
The location is pretty great and the property is wonderful. Easy access to the bike park. Liked the pools area and the bike lock up in the parkade. We would definitely be staying there again. Both toilets in our unit were broken (draining on their own and not flushing properly) and the dishwasher is terribly loud, but worked fine. Beds were comfy and it was very clean.

Check in was difficult and convoluted. The garage was too low for our truck with rack so we couldn't park there. The bike storage either wouldn't open for us or after we stored our bikes we couldn't get into them because lock key code kept not working. We spent a good deal of our time at hotel trying to get into locked areas with key codes that didn't work.

Hi Beth I'm sorry to hear the locks were not working (but glad your stay was secure). Many buildings do not offer overheight parking, so always something to consider when visiting Whistler. We have a few over height options. We will go over the locks with the Aspens front desk and ours to ensure they are providing correct and accurate information to ensure a seamless stay. Thanks for your feedback. I hope you'll give us another chance once the staff are better trained - this is a real challenge with staff turnover all over Whistler. Kindly, Andrea

We walked into a completely opposite room as what we booked. Decided to leave it so we could just have the nice stay we planned with our kids. Next morning woke up at 8am to jack hammering outside of our window. We complained and the girl on the phone said that they had just found out on the Wednesday that the pool maintenance would start on the weekend. The maddening part is that we checked in on the Thursday afternoon and they failed to mention this. We then packed up all our stuff and they sent us to their other lodge up the block. After wasting half of our day doing this, all they offered us was free parking. I fought with them for a voucher for anything....but they refused. We were very disappointed to say the least. The lodge we ended up in was much larger, just wish they would have been honest with us at check in so we could have avoided the frustration and wasted time. We won't be booking with Whiski Jack again.

Hello, Thank you for your review. The Aspens pool maintenance was a last minute notification and we apologize that information was missed at check in. We did our best to rectify the situation by upgrading your family from a 1 bedroom to a 2 bedroom + den at the neighbouring resort as well as we offered our Housemen to help you move. Free parking was also an addition to trying to make the situation better. We are sorry that this didn't meet your expectations. If you would like to discuss further please contact us directly.

Peaceful, quiet and roomy stay!
Overall a good and memorable trip to Whistler. We loved that there was plenty of space for my family of three to spread out. Also full kitchen and dining table which was nice for meals in. The aspens is a walk around 15-17 min walk to the Village, but definitely a beautiful walk. Only thing was that I did not like that we had to pay for parking 1 car; if you are ok with that, this is a great place!!!
