Friends and I stopped by for happy hour- select pints of beer are on special for $5. I tried the Mangolorian and Main Squeeze. They were so refreshing! I like that they offer some inexpensive snacks, like popcorn. The decorations are interesting too! It's fun to look at all of the labels that the brewery has used. Alley Kat supports the community, which is important to me. During the Alberta Teachers' Strike, they offered a free pint. Thank you, you are appreciated!

I came to Alley Kat Brewery for the first time this week to attend their Fall Launch Party and boy…read moreoh boy was it a treat! I saw many familiar faces from previous events Alley Kat had served at including the fabulous Kristin :-) What's not to love about my beer name doppleganger who also loves kats and wears kat prints? MeOwSeRs!!! I digress... Alley Kat was warm and inviting from the moment we arrived at 5PM. They had freshly made soft pretzels on hand along with cheese and meat nibbles to compliment the launch. Now, let's get to the good stuff... The BEER! Hubby and I were on cloud 9 that our favourite Alley Kat Beer - Freshly Squeezed (with real grapefruit) was still on tap and EVEN BETTER they had 4 packs of it for sale! Our local liquor store only had it in a combo pack but this was like finding a giant bag of your favourite one of a kind Jelly Belly Flavours - Yes, kids... Freshly Squeezed is that good! ( And Yay! It keeps getting better! Just checked out their webiste: www.AlleyKatBeer.com and noted: The Summer Squeeze Grapefriut Ale has taken Alberta beer drinkers by storm. You've been enjoying it so much that it is here to stay. Our Summer Squeeze has become our Main Squeeze. With the inclusion of Grapefruit into our core line up we will be discontinuing the seasonal six pack. ) The launch party was held to feature their fall releases: Alley Kat's Dragon Series Alley Kat brews their Double IPA Dragon Series for hop fans. A new single hopped Double IPA will be released every two months using a different hop variety and sold under a different color of dragon. Current Dragon: Maroon Dragon Release date: October 1st Hop Variety: Centennial Alley Kat is back on the Dragon train with Maroon Dragon DIPA. This Centennial hopped double IPA has floral and citrus aroma with notes of light malt and loads of citrus hop. Brewed in limited quantities so get yours before its all gone! I will admit that I'm usually a wine and girly girly drinker so the Maroon Dragon was completely out of my league. But my fellow drinkers assured me that it was an excellent man's beer - SUPER HOPPY! Do you think they will release an Easter Bunny Hop? Bahahaha! Okay, I'll stop ;-) And my favourite of their Fall Releases: Alley Kat's Big Bottle Series As a way of celebrating great tasting beer, Alley Kat's own Big Bottle series is a toast to all brewmasters and lovers of ale, alike. Cheers, and drink up! Current Big Bottle: Pumpkin Pie Spiced Ale Release Date: Sept 2, 2013 September marks the return of Alley Kat's Pumpkin Pie Ale. This delicious full-bodied beer is infused with pumpkin, ginger and cinnamon. Pumpkin Pie Spiced Ale is like the Fall season personified! And the big bottle packaging is cute and the perfect accompaniment to bring to your Thanksgiving dinner next week! So go snag a few bottles and treat the Beer Lovers in your life to a fabulous limited edition treat! While at the Launch Party we got to partake in a fabulous Brewery tour where I learned that Alley Kat is the oldest microbrewery in Alberta at the tender age of 19 and the 4th oldest Brewery in Alberta. They use recycled bottles boys and girls... That's right, feel good and green when you support your local Kat! Alley Kat also recycles it's spent grains into cattle feed and does their best to use all local and West Coast ingredients! Yay Alley Kat! You've got a friend in me :-) I can't wait to see what will be re-released for Christmas or what new creation you will come up with? Perhaps a Holly Hops? PS - Bring Back CRINGER (Cranberry Ginger)!

The chef even came to our table enquiring whether or not we liked the food and asked us if we felt any changes should be made. The service was superb; our water glasses were continually being refilled; almost as soon as our plates were empty they were cleared from our table; throughout our meal at least five servers hovered over our group frequently inviting us to try different food items and asking if they could get us anything else to drink. We definitely will be returning to enjoy another fabulous feast.

We stayed a total of three magical nights at West Edmonton mall : the Roman room two nights and the…read morewestern room one night. I enjoyed the deals that we had received on the attractions while staying. We had a lot of luggage but they always accommodated us. The rooms are a bit dated we stayed in the winter and we found it freezing in the room. There were also a lot of parties one night and security needed to keep everyone in line. I loved the fridge and coffees just wish they had included foods or a breakfast for the price for the night.

We stayed for 7 nights in the Space theme room and the first four we had no hot water. Had to call…read moremaintenance and every time they said it was fixed but it was still ice cold. They told us to run it for 15 minutes and it would get hot. It did not. After 4 days of this I got very angry at the front desk and they moved us to a different room (had to wait until day 5). They had no other room to give us prior. Sal told us it was a priority but it was not. I had to repeatedly ask when the new room would be ready. The room they had set out to give us (the room Sal at the front desk said had no issues and would cause us no problems) suddenly had maintenance issues and they moved us to another room. I went in to make sure it was satisfactory and when I was leaving the new room I tripped and fell. I can't help but feel that if our room had hot water and our stay matched what we paid I wouldn't be sitting here with a bruised up knee and leg. I wouldn't have a sore neck, arms and stomach muscles. I wouldn't have a sore face and I wouldn't have broken my cell phone screen. It ruined the rest of my trip. I had to use a wheelchair for the final few days of our stay. The pain was unbearable. They decided to turn the water off for four hours on Friday, September 4th to fix the hot water issue. They rented out these rooms knowing that there was an issue with the hot water. That does not say "we appreciate our guests." On Friday September 4th we get woken up by the fire alarm. The voice that came over the intercom was so muffled we had to open the door and even then we could only make out a few words. They were telling the guests to stay in their rooms until they figured out what it was. We decided to leave as I'm still in a wheelchair. As we exit the room we ask the cleaning staff what is happening and she says "everything is fine." No. No it's not. We were woken up Saturday morning by hammering and drilling. Not surprising considering they do not care about their guests. The final straw was arranging two days prior to check-out that we could check out at 2:00 instead of 11:00. The front desk employee looked on the computer, typed a bunch of stuff and said he added it to our file. Check-out day arrives and staff are entering our room. My husband goes down and the front desk staff say there are no notes on our file and we have to leave. I talk to the girl on the phone and she says there was no arrangement. I'm completely angry now. A manager talks to us because I'm so angry I'm starting to yell. The manager extends our check-out time until 2:00. Don't know why it was such an issue considering every time our room was to be cleaned we left $20 tips for the housekeeping staff and they didn't even spend fifteen minutes cleaning the room. When we came back the bed was made and the garbages changed but there was still dirt and the carpets were never vacuumed. I have pictures of how disgusting it was. The front lobby smelled of car exhaust and when you walked by the bathrooms to go into the mall it had a horrible sewer smell. We had a rude employee at the front desk when we had questions on day two of our stay and when we called the hotel operator to ask for maintenance they would just hang up on you. They didn't know how to say hello and goodbye or to treat the guests with respect. Half the time you called no one answered. We have stayed at the fantasyland hotel three times in the last twenty years (all theme rooms) but this is the last time I will ever stay here. The amount they charged us is ridiculous for what we received. We paid upfront weeks before our stay. The $100 credit for room service as a goodwill gesture didn't adequately compensate for the problems we experienced. Next time we need a hotel we will be paying for a 5 star hotel. It's too bad this hotel has gone so far downhill. A real shame. It used to be my favourite place to stay. This hotel is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in and we had the worst experience from beginning to end. We should not have to pay for this ridiculous place they call a hotel. How they can they even look at you without being embarrassed is beyond me. They should be ashamed. Instead they were proud that they gave us a $100 gift for room service. They also gave us $700 back on our credit card when I got angry at checkout. Still not good enough.

The parking lot can get full in front of the hotel but there's also parking in the back. The staff who checked us in was friendly and the process quick. There are 2 elevators and the wait was never too long. Just outside of the elevators on the main floor is the pool area and gym. Being on the second floor, we also used the stairs and they were clean and not creepy. The room is spacious. The bathroom had ample counter space for 2 toiletry bags. There's a mini fridge and coffee area. It's too bad they didn't offer tea though and there was no sugar for the coffee which could have been missed for our room. The bed and bedding was comfortable and they give you lots of pillows. There was a sofa which is great for seating and magazines on the table. The work desk was also new and had a nice chair. The room would be great for business travelers and those on vacation and want to relax. I didn't use the pool/hot tub but it was often occupied. I used the gym on a Sunday morning and there were kids in the pool and adults in the hot tub. The gym can get a bit warm with the sun shining in the window but it's decent with an elliptical, treadmill, bike, and lots of free weights with one bench. Water in the cooler and sanitary wipes for the machines was great. The main area is nice with lots of seating and the open restaurant is convenient as there's also a Starbucks. I've had a few meals in the restaurant and the service is attentive and good food. There are conference rooms and washrooms close by too. Great option for a hotel for those looking for a place to stay in the west end!

Dishonest! Went to book a stay through the app, selected their King Suite (wanted the extra…read morebedroom, so wife and I could have a bit of privacy from the kid. We've been traveling a while), and it showed the option of being able to book at least one night with points and cash. As we wanted to stay multiple nights, I couldn't do that through the app (app wanted to do the points plus cash deal for every night). So, I called up their reservation line. I made sure to tell them that I wanted a King Suite. We got it booked at nearly the same cost as their app, and I thought all was good. We got in very late (they were informed of our late arrival) and I proceeded to the counter. We were NOT booked into a King Suite, but a King with sofa bed. They wanted to charge us an additional $60 for the room I had requested and booked. The gentleman said he couldn't do anything about it, but I could speak to a manager the next morning. Well, spoke to the manager this morning. He said we were not booked in a King Suite, but a standard King. He also said that it's an additional $60-70 up-charge for the King Suite and then showed me on his phone how a King Suite is nearly $200 and not the $135 that I was shown the previous day, through the app. So, I pulled up the app and showed him how the room is saying $123 now, for a King Suite. Now he's telling me that we're in a "King Suite"!? I show him the description, "Enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows in two walls of this corner room". We have 2 windows, on One wall, and they're Not "floor-to-ceiling"! Also, "Separate sleeping and living areas". The manager tries to tell me that we do have separate areas as there is a divider. According to him, a two foot pseudo-wall is a divider, making separate areas!? (I grabbed a screenshot of the app, will take pics of the room.) We will be finding alternative arrangements for the remainder of our stay, and I doubt I'll ever stay at a Hyatt again! Utterly dishonest, bait and switch! BEWARE! (Also, at this point, I'm not sure, but they may try and charge me for canceling our stay. It didn't come up, as I was too upset at the dishonesty and treatment).
