A good nights rest here you can bank on it

This weekend Melody and I decided to treat ourselves to a mini vacation right here in Edmonton. A Staycation if you like. We started out by going for dinner here. This is the Union Bank Inn. This boutique hotel is located in the old Union Bank Inn which was built in 1911. After the last tenant moved out in the 1990's a realator bought it and turned it into a very nice hotel on Jasper Avenue.
We went for dinner at the restaurant which has patio along the side by the brick wall. It was our first time here and the food was fantastic. Definitely go back again
