Everything You Need to Know About The Aspens in Whistler
The Aspens is definitely one of our most popular properties, and since we have noticed a trend in the questions guests ask before booking, we put together this practical blog for you. It covers everything you need to know about this amazing property, The Aspens on Blackcomb.
About The Aspens:
The Aspens makes the impression that it is a hotel, which is not the case. All units are privately owned and professionally managed by a number of property management companies (including Blackcomb Peaks Accommodations). This means that the condominiums differ in terms of furniture and style (but also in the quality of guest experience).
In addition, the front desk can only assist guests with any questions related to common areas (ex. pool, parking, laundry, fitness center). Any inquiries considering particular units always default to the property management company responsible for the suite. It is important that guests understand this before they book, to avoid disappointments during their stay.

Street parking can be risky in the summer and certainly not a good idea during the winter months for snow clearing reasons. You could possibly get towed.
