My stay at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald was a mix of highs and lows. The staff were truly really good, displaying a level of care that stood out, especially during my unexpected extended stay. However, I found the room I booked a bit outdated and lacking in some expected amenities, which made me question the value for money. Overall, the beautiful historic atmosphere and friendly service made it a pleasant experience, but some areas definitely need improvement. 🌟

I had a mostly enjoyable stay at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald, but there were definitely some bumps along the way. The hotel is clean and beautifully preserved, and the staff is friendly and attentive. However, I was disappointed with the hotel's response to noise disturbances from a wedding party, which overshadowed some of the positive aspects. Overall, the feel of the hotel is luxurious, but certain things could be improved for a better experience.
