This resort has the potential to be fabulous -
as long as your condo is not on the street side
(between the resort and Market Square). There is
a very, very busy bus stop there in addition to
the stop sign. The diesel buses are so
incredibly loud and run from 6 or 7AM until 10
or 11PM. They make a great deal of noise
accelerating from the bus stop and then again a
1/2 block later when they have to squeal to a
stop for the stop sign and noisly accelerate
AGAIN. It was endless.
I think the resort could
alleviate or at least lessen the noise by
installing higher quality windows and doors -
(the dual pane kind with Argon gas between the
window panes especially)- as it was the noise
made for a very UN-relaxing vacation.
The unit we stayed in was spacious and very well
appointed. It would have been a great place to
stay if it wasn't for the noise of the buses and
cars. If you plan to buy or vacation at Twin
Peaks be aware of this and ask for a unit that
doesn't face that road or the corner unit that
would put you next to 2 loud intersections.
I've stayed in Whistler at least 25 times (and
own a timeshare in the Upper Village) and this
was the only time I didn't enjoy my stay. It
really was that loud and that miserable, even
staying in the village across from the most
popular and loud bar wasn't bad. They may have
gone on partying until 4AM, but at least it was
quiet the rest of the time. There was no down or
quiet time at Twin Peaks. I think they might
even have still been running a few buses after
the bars closed to get the workers and revelers
home. A great service - but one that disrupted
our vacation tremendously.
Let the buyer beware. I certainly appreciate it
when I am.
