Town Plaza Suites: Whistler

Overview:
The Whistler Town Plaza Suites is a collection of three Whistler lodges, Deer, Bear and Eagle Lodges. These three buildings, which comprise the Town Plaza Suites, are located on Whistler Village Stroll, a short 5-minute walk to the lifts and Whistler Village Centre. This is "the" ideal location for your active vacation, as restaurants, retail shops and nightclubs are located on the ground floor of The Whistler Town Plaza Suites.  You cannot get any closer to the heart of the action!

Thoughts:
These are individually owned units that are rented out through a management company.  The location was great and the buildings looked nice even though they are a bit older. They are split into 3 towers spread out around a plaza on the main walk in Whistler.  One major drawback to this is that the facilities like the lobby/gym/hot tub are in separate buildings.  The hot tub was a good size but the gym left something to be desired as it consisted of a stationary bike and a pop machine.

The unit was a nice 2 bedroom suite overlooking the village stroll and was well kept.  The price was affordable compared to the other places in Whistler especially when splitting the cost.

Pros
Cheaper-ish. Centrally located and a short walk to everything in the village.

Cons
Three separate towers with amenities in different towers. Gym was very limited. Parking was extra.
