We didn't have breakfast. We enjoyed the Happy Hour, service was excellent and drink selection was good. We had dinner at The Prow one night and I had the Alberta Lamb Rack and was surprised how much meat there was. It was delicious. My husband had the AB Beef Sirloin 6 oz and it was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. I know, because I sampled it too! :-) Staff were friendly and accommodating. We would stay again. More conducive to adults/couples versus families, especially families with young children. It only has a hot tub, no pool with waterslide for kids, which they love.
Alberta Lamb Rack with Pomegranate Demi glaze. Excellent! Delicious! Lots of meat! Good portion.
Grate inside was a bit small, wood would fall off easily.
Room was lovely. We were upgraded to a Premium. We were there mid week.

Our 4th time there in the past two months and we haven’t been disappointed yet. Property is clean, well maintained, and well laid out. We have had the same lady check us in the past 3 times and has always been a good start to our stay. I forget her name, but shoutout to her. Half price pasta Monday cannot be beat. Pool facilities are top notch. Little bit of a walk into town, but we prefer this as the property is more laid back and less chaotic than being right downtown. We are platinum members at Fairmont, and our experience here rivals that of those much more expensive properties.
