Adara Hotel in Whistler, BC


I got a deal online so thought I'd check out this property.

Valet parking- $20 on site (right next door at the convention center it's $10/for 24 hours!)

Nice lobby, easy check in, hot coffee from JJ Bean available; nice perk!

Elevator up to second floor, found our lovely and modern room. Nice King Size bed, french press with more JJ Bean coffee, nice bathroom (shower only) with lots of complimentary products.

Oh, what's that on the night stand? Well, it's two pairs of EAR PLUGS! Why would we need those?

I look out the window and see that we are right across from a night club, and RIGHT ON TOP of another! This property has rooms DIRECTLY over Buffalo Bill's nightclub; a very popular hotspot. Not so bad while everyone is inside, but come 2:30am or so, and it's very loud right outside your window.

Hence the earplugs; and the noise machine which we had fun playing with, but didn't really realize it's purpose until 3am when we couldn't sleep.

Beautiful room, central location, hot tub, elevator, valet parking : PLUS

Expensive parking, room over a nightclub : MINUS
