Room service is overpriced; Ordered French Toast it arrived without maple syrup and the other accompaniments. Had to call to room service to ask for the maple syrup and wait until it arrived to start my breakfast. I expect flawless service for the prices being charged; there was no offer of a comp for the screw-up. Travelers understand that staffing is difficult right now. The level and quality of service provided do not support the prices being charged. Skip is a viable alternative to your in-room dining program.

Our room needed updating, tge bathroom looked old and the wall paper was peeling. The food served at the wedding was average, we expected better. Also, wedding ceremonies should be private. The public had full view on the balcony.
From the greeting at the front door to the staff serving breakfast what a great stay. I have always enjoyed the Fairmont hotels and this one is no exception. Everything was perfect!
It was our city fix as we live rural. (pigeon Lake). It was a birthday gift (75th) from our daughter. We have lived and worked in many places in this big world and your facility and personnel are world class! A win win weekend!
Everything was great until we had breakfast. The oatmeal was cold and watery like gruel. We sent it back, but it was hardly warmer when brought back. Pancakes were so thick they were raw in the centre. The peameal bacon was steamed or boiled instead of frying. It was just an awful meal and we are dealing with Jerome on this issue, so am satisfied.

The hotel is beautiful and the grounds are spectacular. That being said, all of the rooms are in desperate need of an update - they are very dated. The gold floors were nicer than the regular rooms but not up to Fairmont Standards.
Our reservation was lost, and it took quite some time to get it sorted. The front-end staff seemed helpless, the manager/supervisor was much too important to assist, and my daughter, who is in a wheelchair, was very stressed, as we had a time crunch. We finally got into a room that was not accessible, and the delay caused us to miss the reception at the event we were in town to attend (the retirement of the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeal of Alberta). The last time my daughter was with me for a similar event our room wasn't ready, and we had a similar experience. My rewards status was not honoured, and we felt like our business was not wanted. Historically the Macdonald was one of my favourite Fairmonts, but the service over the past few years has been brutal. I had to promise my daughter we wouldn't stay again.
Had a wonderful experience for our anniversary. Only thing was the chocolate covered strawberries left in our room were moldy.... A nice touch but the execution could have been better.
Lovely hotel, beautiful location
