Adara Hotel

Unfortunately, this hotel was not what we expected. The photos online make it look much nicer than it actually is. Check-in was quick and easy, and the young lady at the front desk was very polite and welcoming. We stayed in a loft suite, which had a nice layout but was quite run down. The furniture was worn with noticeable marks and signs of wear, and the hallways and elevator didn't appear to be very clean. The upstairs loft also doesn't have a fan, so all of the heat rises, making our "bedroom" upstairs 27°C overnight. The small deck was a nice feature, but it would have been much more enjoyable with proper patio furniture instead of inexpensive plastic chairs. I also think adding a kitchenette to the loft suites would make them much more family-friendly. One unusual feature was the fire door in the upstairs loft that opens into a sketchy hallway. I've never seen anything like that in a hotel room before, and it felt odd. The pool area was also disappointing. To access it, you have to walk through the edge of the restaurant patio, and once you're in the pool, everyone dining on the patio can watch you swim. The pool itself wasn't very clean and had quite a bit of debris from the overhanging trees. Another downside was the amount of noise around the hotel. The area seemed to attract a lot of late-night activity and felt more like a party district than a relaxing place to stay. Between the street noise and the surrounding nightlife, it was difficult to enjoy a quiet evening. Underground parking was another downside. At $36 per day, it was expensive, the parking stalls were very tight, and the parkade is also used to store the restaurant's garbage, bottles, and recycling, so it had a strong unpleasant smell. The one positive was the location, which was very convenient and close to everything we wanted to do. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for the overall experience. The numerous drawbacks outweighed the one major benefit, and we won't be returning.

Excellent hotel with comfortable beds and very clean rooms. Bathrooms were very nice.

We stayed one night at Adara Hotel Whistler and had a great overall experience. The hotel has a nice, boutique feel, and everything was very well maintained. Our room was spotless, and the bed was extremely comfortable, perfect for a restful night after a day of skiing. The service really stood out. The receptionist was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful with anything we needed, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The location is excellent, right in the center of Whistler, making it easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and attractions. Paid parking is available, which is convenient given the central location. A couple of minor downsides: there was no safe in the room, and the pool is quite small. That said, neither took away from the overall experience. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located place to stay in Whistler.
