We enjoyed our stay at the Marquise. The murphy bed was perfect for our 2 kids, and allowed the living room to be much more functional. It was nice having a kitchen and the location was close enough to come home for lunch before going back up the gondola for the afternoon. Note that you do have to cross the street and walk (or ski) a few minutes down a side path to reach the Blackcomb slope, a few hundred feet above the Blackcomb gondola. The outside pool was one of the warmest we have used, which was perfect for 30's F degrees winter weather, and the enclosed hot tub was a nice escape as well. It's helpful to bring your own beach towels as extra towels are not supplied. Parking below the building is fine but does cost extra.
