We stayed in a two-bedroom/two-bath unit with four people, two adults and two kids, ages 8 and 10. The unit was very cozy and included a full kitchen and gas fireplace. There was a Jacuzzi tub in the master bath large enough to hold a 6'2," 200-pound male, which I find not typical these days.
We loved having a mini-market located right in the hotel so every time we needed something, our kids were more than willing to run down and pick up what we needed.
The furniture and decor really helped create a ski lodge feel that only helped make our ski vacation all the more authentic. The appliances in the kitchen seemed a bit dated but frankly we thought it added to the overall charm.
While we never used it, it was nice having a mini-movie theater in the hotel. If we hadn't felt exhausted after each day of skiing, we probably would have made it to one of the movies. There's a very large outdoor pool and Jacuzzi that our kids...and frankly, I loved. It's heated year round so you can be swimming while it's snowing...very cool experience!
The hotel is walking distance from the base of Blackcomb. If you want to go to the main village or the base of Whistler, you can jump on the free shuttle.
Overall, we really enjoyed our trip and while these accommodations weren't the most lavish, I think most everyone would be content here. We already have our trip booked for 2008 and we're staying at this resort.
