The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Hilton Grand Vacations Club Whistler provides spacious suite accommodations in the upper village near the Blackcomb base. Guests appreciate the full kitchens, cozy gas fireplaces, and mini jacuzzi tubs for unwinding after skiing. However, storage is tight on extended trips due to a lack of dressers or armoires, and bathrooms miss out on having a second sink. 1210

- “I felt the same way about the bathroom. It had some extra features, like a separate bidet and a bathtub that converts to a Jacuzzi, but I think it would have been more useful to add a second sink.” 1
