The staff we dealt with were all very kind and helpful (Front desk, breakfast staff, maintenance man). The Bad: we were not told that housekeeping was only available for stays of 5 night or longer. At 4 PM on our second day, we were surprised that the room hadn't been cleaned yet so we called the front desk and asked if our garbage could be emptied and for new towels. We were given towels and garbage bags and told to empty the garbage ourselves. The next day, our room again wasn't cleaned so we visited the front desk where we were advised of the no-housekeeping policy for stays less than 5 nights. We asked if just our carpet could be vacuumed, as we have a crawling baby and didn't want her crawling on an unclean carpet. The front desk staff member left the desk and returned with a vacuum, which we then had to bring to our 3rd floor room, vacuum, and return to the desk. I have never experienced this before in an otherwise nice hotel. We certainly didn't expect a deep clean, new bedding or anything of that sort, but when paying $180 per night for a 3 night stay basic services like garbage emptying and vacuuming is expected. This policy really undermines the otherwise great service we experienced.

Wow! Talk about a face lift…read more The Royal Duke used to be the Willy Pub & Inn... bye bye Willy... Helloooooo Duke! The big reno happened early this year and they've been open since August. First impression is a 10 out of 10. What a beautiful reno. The ownership is brand new as well and quite often you'll see them (Guy & Barry) walking about, serving customers and making sure all is well. My wife went out for dinner last night and seeing that we live in south Calgary, why not head to Okotoks and check out the Royal Duke. The menu is pretty nice - a little bit of everything. We chose the 8oz NY Steak sandwich which did not disappoint. It was a Sunday night so things were quite quiet but I've been in there for lunch as well and it's quite a popular place to be. The service was great - Melissa was our server, very personable and really knowledgable about the different drinks on tap. There's loads of room, a billiards room with two tables, lots of TVs and sports to watch, very bright lighting and a private room with VLTs. Probably what really blows me away about this place is that I can bring my kids who are both under 5 years. Much like the UK where kids can go to the pub with mum & dad, it's the same here. Kids are welcome with parents up to 8:00pm So there you go. Check it out. Great atmosphere, lighting, decor, and very nice food! I'll be back!

All of the staff have been very nice and friendly as well. The prices are about average with bars, without many specials that I've had the opportunity to take advantage of. Good place to go and have some drinks and hopefully I can get back there to try the food soon as it looks good as well!

Very clean and comfortable! The food is very good and reasonably priced. Very nice decor.read more

This is the first bar I have been to where there are no TV's. Being not into sports I must say not…read morehaving a TV in a bar was incredible! You could drink, hang out with friends, enjoy live music and relax without being distracted by a TV playing mindless crap. It is a good feeling to be forced to focus on the people around you as opposed to a TV. Try it! The renovations they did are great. If you have not been there in a few years it is time to check this place out. I must also say the food is really good and reasonably priced. We had a bunch of appy's: nachos, garlic mushrooms, veggie platter, etc. Yum! If you are visiting from Calgary or out of town there is also a cool option for $89 to stay the night. This ends up being cheaper than a cab and makes it a nice little country get away. Come Friday night - there is always live music! Then if you stay over you can check out the World Famous (okay well Southern Alberta Famous) Millerville Market

Went to the buffet tonight for dinner A little shocked at…read morethe price for seniors $49.95 per person . Since the buffet looked quite nice we thought we would treat ourselves was ready to enjoy the lovely prime rib roasts but they were so rare that I had to skip that. They did have some promising pork tenderloin on the other table so while my husband got his prime rib Yorkshire pudding and gravy I grabbed the pork with mushrooms in a lovely sauce the honey glazed carrots and the garlicky green beans. I added a couple of cold shrimp and grabbed a bun and went to sit and enjoy the meal Wow delicious flavors and absolutely stone cold !!! Husband sat down and I waited to see the expression on his face and he said this prime rib,gravy,green beans all stone cold . Now we were there for 6:00 pm usual dining time that the food turn over should have not been a problem . My husband got up and reported it to the front end girl Who looked some what bewildered and didn't have a comment the second waitress said oh great not again. Sounds like perhaps this is a problem and finally our waitress who said she would tell the chef. I like my hot food hot and my cold Food cold. This would not have passed food safety inspections as the meat And gravy was well below safe food handling temperatures and the shrimp that should have been icy cold was warm room temperature . Needless to say i didn't eat the cold Meat and the warm shrimp . I had a couple Of cucumber slices and a bit of salad. Such a huge disappointment!! And expensive. Really felt that that was money that could have been spent at macdonalds where at least the hamburger would have been well cooked and hot and not $49.00 dollars We didn't expect anything free but an apology and perhaps a discount would have been in better standing . Just hope No one gets sick from eating there
