Comfort Suites Kelowna, B.C.

Friday, following surgery, we had the pleasure to stay in the Comfort suites. They do not lie….the layout of the rooms is what ALL hotels should aspire to. A sitting area  which has a sofa in it and coffee table where you can watch television comfortably. It had a fridge and microwave (as normal) and they had a bed and lovely linens which was so comfortable to sleep in.

A table (desk) and office chair was also here.

A large dining room for breakfast…your choice of juices, coffee, eggs, sausages, bread, muffins, english muffins, waffles, etc. It is included and is a nice way to start the day.

The only thing that was not really nice is the bath towels…they are so rough they would take a layer of skin off. Sorry, guys but use a softener of some kind. Truly a disappointment and actually I was shocked at how rough they were.

I blog Hotels and Restaurants and thought aha! I would look and I am sure  they don’t have a bible anywhere. Gideon bibles were a staple and now not many places still have them. This one did and it wasn’t just the little pocket size, it was a larger book-size bible and it was  unlike any other I have ever looked at before. It had a lisiting of what you might be looking for….grieving, heartbreak, considering suicide, looking how to pray….so many titles and all you had to do was go to whatever reading they had for that exact thing. Also, they had in many languages, written out messages. This was really cool.

Would we return? Absolutely. It is so nice to be able to sit down and watch tv without having one sit on  the bed and the one lonely chair in the room being used and traded off and on so your back doesn’t break in two.

The staff is friendly and room was clean..

“19” Okanagan Restaurant – Two Eagles Golf Course, Kelowna

Yesterday we had an appointment in Kelowna and decided to take our good friend, Shelley, with us for lunch and she suggested  the 19 Okanagan Restaurant  at the Two Eagles Golf Course. http://dine19.com/

 

We were met a the door by a super friendly gentleman (holding a cup of coffee) and informed of a slight distraction on the other side of the restaurant.  Construction was going on.  We assured him it wouldn ‘t bother us and we were led to a table in front of a lit fireplace. We later found out the gentleman was Ian, one of the managers, who always had a big smile and friendly comment to all who were seated in the restaurant.

 

Our very competent server, Brittany, was bright, professional and had a sense of humor for three crazy patrons (us).

 

Shelley ordered the Applewood Club sandwich with Caesar salad. It had large pieces of roasted chicken with cheese, bacon, sliced apples, tomatoes and lettuce  with a yummy sauce all tucked in toasted sourdough bread.  The Caesar salad looked good but she didn’t share…drat!

 

Don ordered the Philly Steak sandwich with lots of meat, topped with crispy deep fried onions, fried onions, crisp bacon and lots of cheese accompanied with french fries.  He said the sauce was phenomenal.

 

I had, and forgive me, I don’t remember the name but it was a Carbonara pasta with homemade noodles, crispy bacon, sun dried tomatoes in a wonderful sauce. This was addictive, to say the least. Bravo!!

Then, of course, we had a Sinful Chocolate Ganache dessert.  Two house made Bernard Callebault ganache portions on a butter pecan crust, butterscotch glaze and vanilla bean ice cream. and THREE FORKS. Yes, it was all that and more…..yummy.

 

Shelley and I ordered the Pinot Gris wine and it was perfect.  Great friend, great food and a super great restaurant.  If you ever visit West Kelowna, make sure you take the time to stop in and enjoy great ambience, super food prepared by Chef Davin Bennett and friendly,casual and not stuffy staff.  You will be sure to mark it down as one of your favourites.

 

Lunch was $$
