I checked I to the Sawridge due to a bathroom reno gone wrong. I left my husband and brother in law at home to fix the problem but invited them to come crash with me as I my room had 2 beds, they never showed. Anyway I was going to go out for dinner and I thought about driving around looking for someplace and decided nope I wasn't leaving the hotel and stayed @ Creations. My server on my 1st visit was Adnan and he was very happy and attentive to my Celiac needs. I started with a glass of wine that was on the Happy Hour Special follow by a Chicken BLT. I was going to go for the Beef Dip but the au jus was not safe for me. BOO. Then after dinner Adnan suggested dessert I declined b/c most Gluten Free dessert is chocolate cake. ENOUGH WITH THE GF CHOCOLATE CAKE PEOPLE. Adnan suggested Cheesecake I politely declined thinking he forgot I was a Celiac. He said it was GF and I really should try it. I relented and agreed. I was thinking it was gonna be GF but also taste GF. I WAS WRONG. This was amazing. When another waiter came to clear my plate I asked him to find out who supplied the Cheesecake as it was so amazing and he reported back to me it was from Wow Factor Dessert in Sherwood Park. I went up to my room and was talking with a friend raving about the cheese cake and within a hour she said she was coming for a drink and a slice. One my 2nd visit that night we were served by Virgil. He was the gentleman who clear my plate and spoke to the Chef about the Cheesecake. We were torn between 2 cocktails and he helped us decide on the Passion Fruit Fizzie or something to that nature. Basically a baby bottle of sparkling wine and some liqueur that you self mix in a flute. It made two flutes so it made up for thrb $14 cost. We both ordered the Cheesecake, yes I had a 2nd peice, don't judge when you are Celiac you stock up on the good stuff. My friend who is not a Celiac kept asking if I was sure the cake was safe for me b/c she thought it tasted too good to be GF. Seriously reader go get the Cheesecake. Anyway Virgil was super friendly and would stop by every now and then to check on us. We built great rapport and chatted for a bit at the end of our visit. I will definitely go back for Virgil, Adnan...
Read moreWorst Hotel Experience Ever. We stayed 3 nights in a pet friendly king suite. Everything was good at first night until i noticed some blood dropplets on the back wall of the washroom behind the towlette. I asked the front desk staff to get housekeeping to only clean the washroom while i was at a doctors appointment. When we returned nothing was done, so i went back to the front desk to tell them that it was not yet cleaned and that i was once again leaving for dialysis at the grey nunns until 11pm and the room would be once again free to clean. Once again I mentioned only to clean the washroom spacifically the back wall. When we returned around 1130 pm the washroom still wasin't cleaned, however the rest of our room (linnens, all of our items were rearranged and sorted and put aside). The worst part my girlfriends medication was all of a sudden gone. Medication which she uses on a daily basis. Frustrated i went to the front desk to tell them the situation with no avail. I then spoke both to the housekeeping supervisor and front desk supervisor and told them the issue. They both told me they spoke to the staff and no none seen any medication, they only cleaned the washroom and they would never steal any medication since they couldnt even speak english. WTF does that have to do with not taking your stuff. Seems like my concerns fell on deaf ears, even tho I reinterated that one of their housekeeping staff was not honest and was steeling from patrons. The best part all we can offer you is free continental breakfast, even tho they knew I had surgery that day and couldnt even use it. When checking out i told them that i refuse to pay the pet fee at the very least. But big surprise no supervior to help me with my concerns. So if your thinking of staying here, think twice. Chances are you will get your sh#$ stolen. If you could give 0 stars i would. Never...
Read moreSo I came with a large party. My experience was 4 stars, I'm sure a couple of my group would have given lower, I'll explain why, but I'll stick with the rating I experienced.
So the way their Sunday brunch works is you order from a small menu and then have access to a buffet as well . I ordered a chicken and waffles Benny, which was amazing. The waffle was pretty sweet and it was cheap on the hollandaise but it was still delicious.
The buffet was small, but it was good. The salads all come in little cups, so you don't spoon it up yourself or anything you just grab a cup of whatever salads you want.
Now the reason some in my group will have had a bad experience. Some of the ordered entrees were forgotten by the kitchen. And then when the waitress went to have them try a second time they were forgotten again. I ended up receiving someone's omelette towards the end of the meal, which I didn't eat because I was stuffed and I didn't even order it. I poked at it though and it was clearly rushed as it was runny in the middle!
Now if they want to review this place lower that's on them. My experience was pretty solid. The food was good for me, the price was super cheap, and the dining room had an...
