View from the Room: Summit Lodge, Whistler BC

We wanted something a little special for the to celebrate the beloved’s birthday and we got it here. From the little duck in the bathroom to the recycing bin that separates four ways to the soft towels, bathrobes and quality full-sized toiletries, the Summit have thought of everything.

• Mugs, glasses, plates and bowls (curiously no tea plates!) and plenty of good quality cutlery
• Stove top kettle and toaster

• Small fridge. We didn’t get to the bottom of why it froze the milk and everything else but it didn’t really matter for the 3 nights we were there.

Amenities

• Iron & board

• The best recycling bin I have ever seen with 4 compact compartments (want for home)

Sockets

Plenty in all the right places

• Bathmat
• Plenty of space around sink and bath for storage
• Two hooks
• Large mirror

Refreshments

• Well-stocked mini bar with snacks at usual hotel prices
• Keurig pod coffee machine with only dry powdered milk but they happily bought us some fresh milk on one of the days.

Entertainment

There was just one TV in the lounge.

Lighting

Plenty of lamps and overhead lighting which gets brighter after a few moments (energy saving?)

Spa

Lots of amenities but not sampled 

Access

Two lifts which always seemed to be readily available despite the ski season having just kicked off.

Service

Top notch throughout with the added bonus of complementary Baileys hot chocolate offered up in reception on one day and mulled wine on another. Staff were courteous when we asked for help or otherwise we felt pretty secluded.
