Stayed in Edmonton at the Hotel MacDonald for a special event at Legislature.
Comfortable, great meal, great service
My wife and I booked a Fairmont Gold room for our wedding night and were not disappointed. The view was spectacular and the service and attention to detail (congratulatory cards in the room) were great.
Wonderful food and service. Reception area very dark, may be due to construction.

This was a gift for our 40th anniversary from my sister and her family. When we arrived, our room was not ready. We arrived after 3:30 or so and the room was to be ready for early check in 2 pm. They said we were upgraded but the room seemed the same as what was ordered. No real upgrade that we could see. The room also had a bad smell to it. The hospitality ladies were outside and they came in and sprayed the room with disinfectant/deodorant. We were told by my sister that she ordered strawberries and champagne. This did not arrive. We had to call for this as it was not provided in our room. The patio was enjoyable. We went down for a drink. When I returned to the room there was a text that we could move rooms if the smell was still there. We had opened the windows and it was tolerable so we did not move. The next morning we had the buffet breakfast in the Harvest Room. This was dreadful. Eggs benedict were over cooked, bacon was hard and cold, croissants were dry and hard, hash browns were dry and cold. After we had sat down with our plates the server mentioed we could have an omelet if we wanted. My husband ordered one. It took over 20 minutes to have this made. I did not eat as I was not pleased with what I saw and tasted on my plate. I left it aside. The server was kind to only charge us for one person. As others came into the room to have breakfast many were complaining on the food and how dry and cold it was.
I can’t imagine better facilities or a more welcoming team
Great view ,great service

The staff were polite and professional and the room was excellent for our stay which included our Anniversay celebration 😊 We had dinner on the terrace with heaters and the fire pit which added to the atmosphere and our enjoyment. The staff really looked after us and on my next trip to Edmonton it will only be the Fairmont McDonald that we stay in
