I have come to the Whidbey Gold Club, or the Country Club as grandma calls it, for various special…read moreoccasions over the years. Most recently, I came with my parents, grandma, and aunt to celebrate Mother's Day today (Sunday 14 May 2023) with a lunch out. The club has a dress code: a collared shirt for men and no shorts for women. So, as a female, I went with my black and white Under Armour shoes, black athletic sweatpants, and a dark red crew neck sweatshirt. I cut my hair myself in a 5 millimeter buzzcut style on the Tuesday (9 May 2023) before the lunch to be crisp for the occasion. I encountered no problems in the workers correctly identifying my gender, and was not turned away. The floor plan/spacing between the tables was pleasant and the chairs had wheels on the bottom, making them easy to move, which I found nice. The lunch buffet had a breakfast section, a more savory lunch section, and a dessert section. All of the items I tried, including scrambled eggs and salsa, salad, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and a cheese blintz, were tasty. My belly was content after one round of the main buffet items. For dessert I went with a carefully cut square/rectangle of yellow cake (not lemon cake) that had a good classic yellow cake flavor and a fluffy/airy cream cheese frosting. The frosting paired with the cake exquisitely and I did not share. All of the workers were friendly and the parking lot was easily accessible. The front also has an area to pull up and pick-up/drop-off people, which was perfect for grandma.

I was impressed that they offer five different hard ciders on tap in addition to a dozen craft beers on tap. I chose to sample a Baked Apple cider and it was aptly named! It tasted like I was drinking a baked apple I also noticed that they have a partnership with Lava Louie's pizza! There is a QR code on the side of their napkin dispensers that will connect you to Lava Louie's online ordering menu! And, Lava Louie's will deliver it to you at Wicked Teuton! However, Wicked Teuton does offer their own menu. You don't have to order from Lava Louie's if you don't want to. I had an enjoyable wait for my movie. I just hope the movie is as enjoyable as my wait was.

Made a reservation via IHG website and received a confirmation. In fact also received multiple…read morereminder emails and texts about the stay. Called the hotel to check on our reservation one day prior and they said they had no reservation in our name. Called IHG and they were not helpful. The hotel was even less helpful and downright unintelligent in their answers. We felt like they were blaming us for the problem. And by the way we are IHG regular members! All that to say, we were forced to find another hotel in another city far away. No help from IHG like finding us alternative lodging or compensation for their mess up. We chose to book Best Western...HA! I wouldn't use IHG ever again after this bungled mess nor want to deal with the Candlewood front desk staff in any other alternate universe.

I guess my biggest concern is health: yours and mine…read more By front staff's own admission, the deodorizing spray "should" dissipate quickly, but it knocked me for a loop just as much on day 4 as it did day 1, even with leaving windows open as much as possible. I presume that much deodorizing spray is used because it is a dog-friendly hotel & hotel staff assumes more is better. Stay away if you have asthma, allergies, or if you don't like to breathe chemicals for hours on end. All appliances are new and seem to be in fully working condition. My concern comes from the moldy smell coming from the dishwasher - the picture I include herein shows the mold and who knows what that was growing for a very long time in the filter. That means the dishes washed would have the same residue/mold. All staff were extremely friendly. Note they only accept dogs - no cats. Chinese restaurant next door is absolutely delicious. Chris' bakery a mile down the road makes great donuts, muffins, cookies, & bread.

I was traveling through this interesting area and found myself on this street lined with boutique…read moreshops! It was a lovely spot on a sunny winter day, so I got out and scanned the offerings. This bookstore jumped out at me, and I knew I needed to take a look. Having a very young niece, I'm constantly on the hunt for books to enrich her developing mind. I hit the jackpot with this place! The owner has a wonderful spirit and is exceptionally helpful in showing a new customer around. I love a small business with passion for its offerings, it's critical for the atmosphere to be just right. You can feel the passion in this space. Having done a lot of my shopping online over the last few years, I don't often venture into shops. But this one pulled me in and rewarded me with a bounty of books for my darling girl, and I'll be taking trips to this area, specifically with the store in mind! I didn't have any thought to look at adult offerings but I'll make sure to do that on future visits. Right now it's all auntie brain all the time! Come in with an open heart and on the hunt for literary treasures. There are new books and used books to choose from! It's so fabulous and truly magical.

Most of the members in this private club are there to socialize as they do not have a boat. This is not a requirement for joining the yacht club. Boating, water safety and environmental issues with the waterways makes the Oak Harbor Yacht Club a great place to join. Visitors are always welcome. Social events encourage families with children to participate. There is a venue upstairs for rent. Member prices are deeply discounted. The view of the harbor is unbeatable.

Purchased floral arrangements for my mother's funeral and was devastatingly disappointed. The…read morearrangements meant to honor my mother were sparse, full of greenery, and had mostly cheap Shasta daises. I genuinely could've gotten a better bouquet at safeway. None of the Bouquets match the photos on their website. Complete misrepresentation of what we would receive. Included photos of what was received vs what is posted in their website. EDIT / UPDATE : To help further clarify - paid $400 but would've happily paid more if deemed necessary - Exact measurements were provided for the photo garlands (and were supposed to be much bigger) - While not exact bouquets were picked from the website, the complete lack of anything comparable is quite evident -Shasta daisies and carnations are nowhere comparable to white lilies and/or white roses. Both of which we received in bouquets gifted to us by friends and family, purchased by the same florist, so we are aware that they should be available for our purchase. -specifically asked for peonies and received none at all.

She was not interested in trying to find out where the misunderstanding was or try and get the delivery to the correct person. She told me that the person who wrongly received the delivery was bringing the flowers to HER. Then she rudely told me they would be at their store in the cooler waiting for the intended recipient to come pick them up. (You know, the person who just had a baby. Unbelievable.)
