Best Hotel in Edmonton, Best Hotel Staff too, Beautiful Hotel!
The Fairmont MacDonald is our favourite place to stay because of its kind, helpful and welcoming staff.
Beautiful, tasteful room with great furniture and it was a decent size. Great view of the river valley. Amazingly comfortable bed and soft sheets. The hotel is well kept and we enjoyed the health club, pool, sauna and hot tub. We wished there were slippers provided in the room for our pool visits like there used to be. Also smaller robes for smaller people too. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas. It was actually exceptional. We wished the lounge bar was open but it's currently under renovation. Looking forward to visiting when it's done.

my husband and I stayed Nov 10-11th during renovations. We were disappointed with the small menu. One of the things we were most looking forward to was a lovely meal on a cold winters night. Although our burgers were nice, the French fries were these skinny frozen things that weren’t nice.
Excellent experience overall. However, the hotel was nearly empty (not unexpectedly in November), yet the room next to ours was rented to a couple with a large black dog, who whined for a half hour in the morning while the owners presumably went out alone for breakfast or a walk. Not pleased about that. Appreciated the goodies provided to honour my partner's birthday!

The check-in was the only part of our experience that wasn't "Fairmont" quality, hence my score of 8. I had pre-checked in on the app (as prompted by the app) and so when the clerk asked for the credit card, I indicated I had already completed all of that on the app and he (quite rudely) informed me that was for "platinum" members, making us feel like inferior guest. I'm not sure why the app notified me to check in if it didn't make a difference. We then politely and amiably asked about an upgrade and he first said the rooms were all sold out and then preceded to say if we wanted an upgrade there would be an additional fee. (are you full, or do you just want us to pay more?) This customer service is NOT what we've come to expect from the Fairmont. This clerk also told us the rooms had Keurig for coffee, we were pleasantly surprised to see you had upgraded to Nespresso when we got to our room, thank you for that! That is Fairmont quality! Our experience and interactions with the door man, bell boy, and check-out clerk were all perfect and as we've come to expect from the Fairmont.
Overall great experience
The room was large and comfortable but room service was not good value. The order had mistakes and was not great food.
Stayed the night to attend Xmas party being hosted at the hotel
