This hostel hotel is managed well, front desk staff nice and kind. It has a large full equipped kitchen, a large sitting area….onsite restaurant for breakfast and dinner in very reasonable price. Night time is very quiet, guests are friendly as well. Onsite outdoors parking, 8 mins drive to creekside village gondola. We took bus $2.50 pp and leave the car at hotel parking since creekside parking filled up quickly on weekends before 7:30am. Overall, a decent place to stay for Whistler trip. Will come back again!

Property is very minimalistic to a fault. Mattress is like a pad or futon. Smells somewhat funky. No cancellation policy even for emergencies is not customer oriented and clearly shows they know they don’t have a product people want. It’s a hostel so don’t book if you aren’t a spring chicken.
