Guest Reviews of the Horstman House Whistler
Feb 12, 2011
We booked an anonymous room on the Whistler Blackcomb website as a last minute
deal and were given a one bedroom room at Horstman House at a significant
discount. It turned out to be a perfect home away from home for my wife and I
for our 5 day stay at Whistler.
The location is as good as pretty much anywhere in Whistler given the
convenience of the free shuttles. The full kitchen and TV of Horstman House was
a great way to spend the evening while we recovered from days of skiing.
The rooms were clean and comfortable. Everything was easy to use. There are bus
stops right in front of the building and it is a 5 minute trip to the chairlifts
and/or village.

This is our second stay at the Horstman House, and the first time in winter. We
will definitely make this our repeat lodging in Whistler. It is in the upper
village, comfortably away from the crowds, yet convenient to town with a free
bus stop right outside. In terms of ski access, the Blackcomb day lodge was just
3 stops away, and you can supposedly ski back to it (although we didn't try
this).
Accommodations were cozy, and pretty standard for this class of condo. Kitchen
could have been stocked with a fry pan, but otherwise had everything we needed.
There is a gas fireplace, and 2 small flat screen TV's. Although the one in the
bedroom was hooked up to a VCR, which probably no one uses anymore. The outdoor
hot tub and pool is a nice feature of the property, and it was not overly
crowded when we went to use it. Other amenities include locked storage for skis,
pool table in the lobby.
This is a small property, low key, but very comfortable, and convenient.

We had a very enjoyable stay with everything we needed and more. The short walk
into town and back was very pleasant especially after supper on Whistler
Mountain. Would definitely stay there again.

Perfect location. Close enough to the village but just far enough away. We were
there during Crankworx and it was great. The pool area was fantastic. The 2
bedroom was over 900 sq ft; huge. I found the best deal through
www.allure-hotels.com

The one bedroom suite was beautiful. After a day of walking and seeing the
Villages at Whistler it was a wonderful place to come back to and relax.
We wished it had ice machines, other than that, it had everything we needed.

We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, and the very quiet location. Having the bus
stop right outside the door made getting around super easy! Nice layout of the
suite.

It was away from the hubub of Whistler village but within walking distance
( though my 5 year-old may dispute that claim). The communal bbq was nice and
the fact that the pool is surrounded by trees and greenery, not hotel windows
was very relaxing. We could relax by the pool or walk a few minutes to the beach
at Lost Lake. It was very family friendly. Suite was clean and comfortable.

The landscaping in front of the House and the balcony facing the mountains. The
'quiet' time curfew. Not having anyone at the front desk.

Parking and check-in: if you check in after the skeleton crew has left the
building, you'll have to stop at another hotel, then let yourself in at Horstman
House. Parking was convenient, except when one of the cards didn't work, and no
one was available at the front desk for over an hour. Room: comfortable living
room, adequately stocked kitchenette, couch looked like it had been there since
the 1980's. The WiFi did not work in our 2nd floor unit, but there was a CAT5
cable to plug into. iPhone users - hike to the lobby to get a signal. Bathrooms:
spacious, clean, with minimal frills. Bedrooms: mattresses and pilllows were
very, very old. For a ski property, they should invest in world quality bedding,
since a good night's sleep is key for recharging.
