The hotel is amazing and the staff there very welcoming
We stayed for a friends wedding, and were very happy with the service with our early check in, room service, and front desk help. We also did the decor and floral install for the wedding and the staff were so amazing with helping us get our items to and from the banquet rooms, making sure we had everything we needed and just went above and beyond!
Definitely ranks the lowest among all the Fairmonts I’ve stayed at. I guess it’s probably the best hotel in Edmonton? From check in the staff just seem like they’re uninterested in customer service or just unenthusiastic about their job in general. The building is quite beautiful but the rooms are just average at best.
Good location and facilities especially the fitness. But their topnotch service is what separates them from other hotels.

My husband has a service animal and a non visible disability. the staff were very well trained to not address the dog and were very accommodating to his needs, making the stay very positive and comfortable. It is not often that we can go somewhere and have a positive experience. we will be back again.

The Hotel McDonald is perfectly located with great views of the river valley and easy access to anywhere you need to go. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were comfortable but maybe a little tired. A refresh of the bathrooms and carpet would be a good improvement. Overall a wonderful stay in an historic location.
