Where to stay in Whistler

Hello! Looking to take a extended weekend trip to Whistler with friends. Primarily to ski and snowboard, but we want to check out the village as well. I am looking for an ideally located hotel that is not too expensive. We were looking at Blackcomb Springs Suites for its location, but I wanted to weigh all my options before I commit. What are some good recommendations to stay? There are 5 of us, I liked that B.S.S is a ski in ski out hotel and had a free shuttle. Thanks!
