This place could teach something to its sister hotel down the road. Like how to maintain hygiene. Or smiling? Almost the opposite of the other Pomeroy, this spot is much classier, has far better service, and the people here actually...wait for it....care. Wednesday here was once again a customer appreciation night, but I was screwed. Somebody must have called ahead as they had bottles of beer instead of cans at this location. Bottles are hard to hide in pockets unless I want to give the cook the impression that I REALLY like him. The food was decent, and I don't think anybody else had a glass of the cabernet once I spotted it....
The breakfast here is pretty vast, but still iffy at best. The sausage is okay, hashbrowns okay. They only have skim milk, and I became depressed quickly on the lack of quality.
The highlight of my trip was that when my coworker and I were watching the hockey game on TV in the main room, lo and behold, a legend came to shake our hands, noticing our Calgary Flames hats. Lanny freaking MacDonald. If you don't know who he is and call yourself a hockey fan, I may need to Kung Fu fight you to the death. He was the team captain in '89 when the Flames won the cup. Worship the Lan.
Overall there were huge good points to this spot, but only enough for 3.5 stars after the big downfalls. Dear Pomeroy, switch to beer cans. read more
