Loved the warmth of the lobby and petting Chardonnay. Enjoyed conversation with guests at the wine tasting hour very much. Saunte was delicious.
Only negative is no elevators.
We loved the spa experience, room service dinner was amazing. The hotel room was beautiful and large, but the bedroom TV did not work which was my biggest disappointment. We love watching movies in bed. A maintenance guy came to the room in the morning several times bit was not able to fix it. So we spent our last morning trying to fix the TV for hours but no success. But everything else was lovely.

Was gifted a night at the Fairmont MacDonald as part of a wedding present. My wife and I had a wonderful stay. We would definitely stay again after this first experience.

Overall it is always great!
Spent NY Eve and New Year's Day at the SMI Fairmont. Enjoyed the NYE dinner and the spa amenities (plus two treatments) on NY day. We never left the hotel. Food, treatments dancing were all great.
The entire get away was terrific. Service and food above and beyond expectations.
We went and stated your facility to celebrate my niece. She is graduating and got all A’s. You made it quite special! The bottle of champagne in the room was very exciting for her because she has never been to a spa and spend the night before. The staff was amazing! So friendly! The restaurant Sante has amazing food!
