I spent two days in Whistler, and this time I booked a guesthouse at Lake Placid Lodge through Airbnb. It's located in Creekside, very close to the cable car station, just a few minutes' walk away. There's a supermarket and restaurants downstairs, making it convenient to buy groceries and grab a bite.
The apartment was clean and tidy overall, and comfortable to stay in. The kitchen was fully equipped, so cooking my own meals was no problem. The building's facilities were a highlight, with an outdoor heated pool, hot tub, and sauna – perfect for relaxing after a hike. However, being an apartment-style management system, there's no front desk; check-in is entirely self-service, so you need to communicate the access code with the host beforehand. Overall, it was a very hassle-free place to stay, conveniently located, and had everything you needed. It's suitable for people who don't want to stay in a noisy village but still want convenient transportation. I'd probably consider staying here again next time I'm in Whistler.
