Hotels near Garbanzo Express, Whistler

This might be the cheapest Four Seasons I've ever stayed at, so it gets full marks! The sofa can be converted into a double bed, which is more than enough space for two kids. They even provided extra pillows and a double duvet. Upon check-in, we received a welcome card and some desserts. My only minor complaint is that the Caucasian front desk lady didn't proactively offer toys to my children. I had to ask twice, and she only gave them out the second time after checking other people's reviews, which was a bit disappointing. Also, I was surprised the room didn't have a Dyson hairdryer – even the pool areas have Dyson, so the rooms should too! The toiletries didn't smell very good. The bar on the first floor is excellent, highly recommended!

The hotel's location is right in the town center, making it convenient to get everywhere. It's also far enough from the main bars in town, so it's quite quiet at night. The staff provided excellent service, and the hotel lobby had a lovely, resort-like atmosphere. The room wasn't very spacious; after fitting two 1.5-meter beds, there wasn't much room left. I do have to complain about the hairdryer in the room – it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages.

The room is a spacious loft unit. Its prime location in Whistler Village means the gondola is just a short walk away. On the ground floor, guests can enjoy complimentary coffee, milk, and hot water available 24/7. While breakfast isn't included, the front desk provides complimentary grab-and-go granola bars. Please note that parking is an additional $32 USD per day.

The environment is nice and comfortable. The two bedrooms and one living room are spacious and clean. The living room has air conditioning and all the cooking utensils are complete. Overall, it's a good stay, but the mattress is a little too soft and the bedroom lacks air conditioning, which can make it a bit warm in the middle of the night. There are several restaurants and supermarkets nearby, making it convenient for buying daily necessities.

This time, I stayed in a duplex room, and the overall sense of space and design was truly excellent. It was very comfortable to live in, and the view was great. However, the only slight drawback was that due to the duplex layout, the air conditioning didn't seem to circulate well to the upper floor, making it feel quite stuffy when sleeping upstairs. I suggest the hotel consider adding a circulating fan upstairs or enhancing the air conditioning system in the future, then the overall stay experience would be perfect!

I stayed in Room 203, which was spacious and featured a relaxing Jacuzzi and a cozy fireplace with a beautiful mountain view. The kitchenette was well-equipped with cutlery, though the air conditioning unit was in a bit of an odd spot directly beside the headboard. While the hotel’s location is a plus—being tucked away from the main village noise and offering easy access to bus stops and Evo e-bike parking—the soundproofing within the building was a significant drawback. Because the room is located next to the housekeeping station and near the elevators, I could clearly hear staff working early in the morning, as well as hallway conversations and neighbors operating their Jacuzzi. I could even hear full conversations coming from some rooms while I was waiting for the elevator in the hallway. Additionally, for a 4-star property, I expected more amentities to be provided more than 3-star proper, e.g. slippers and things. And though the bed is soft, but somehow it’s not comfy for my body.

The room was spacious and included a sofa bed. The fireplace kept the room warm and cozy. The parking lot was large and convenient, and the service was excellent.

I understand this is a budget hotel, but I wish it had been clearer that there would be no housekeeping at all during the stay—not even bed-making or basic cleaning. It felt more like an Airbnb than a hotel, although it’s marketed as a hotel. Unfortunately, I also had a strong allergic reaction to the bed, which made it really hard to sleep. The air conditioner was extremely loud, and even when turned off, there was still a constant noise coming from somewhere—possibly the ventilation system, but I couldn't tell for sure. There was also quite a bit of traffic noise from the nearby road (could be a highway). That said, the room was spacious and had a small table to work at, which was convenient. The kitchenette was clean and functional, and the bathroom was in good condition. The closet space was also good (note that I traveled by myself).

The management here was fantastic, very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is within walking distance of the lifts, and of stores, restaurants, pharmacies, etc. The room we had was fairly quiet even though we were on the middle of a party town on a holiday weekend. The only complaint we have is about the front desk staff. We requested hand towels be brought to our room, but the person at the desk at the time seemed to only pretend to care. Unsurprisingly, we never were brought towels and when we came back late, we just made due with what we had. I'm certain the managers would have done it themselves if they'd been at the desk at the time.
