My wife and I stayed here recently to celebrate her birthday and the anniversary of when we first met. When we arrived at check-in they informed us that our room wasn't ready and that they'd work on getting us an upgrade. In the meantime, we were provided with complimentary drink vouchers and were told to go have a drink in... More

Thank you for choosing to stay with us to celebrate your special occasions. It was very pleasing to hear that you enjoyed your visit, however it was disappointing to hear your feedback on our bedding. We typically receive rave reviews on our mattresses and I will ensure this mattress is checked to ensure everything is perfect. I am glad you... More

I recently returned from a business trip to Edmonton where I had the pleasure of enjoying the hospitality and ambiance of the Fairmont MacDonald. This is a grand old hotel on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. The view from our 7th floor room was wonderful (we were fortunate enough to get an upgade). The room was well appointed....

We had a wonderful evening with great food and phenomenal service. The staff were attentive and entertaining, but in a graceful way. They fawned over my mother-in-law, making her feel very special (brownie points for me). The menu selection although limited, had something for everyone. my youngest wanted a milkshake which was presented very well, and the very good form... More

The MacDonald hotel in Edmonton is an icon and it has been many years since I stayed there. The hotel was quite clean and fresh. The bed, sheets, and towels were excellent. The TV and coffee maker in room were great too. For an old stone building it was neither cold nor draughty. We stayed in the turret suites which... More

The bed, bedding, and bath towels are amazing. Between the noise of outside traffic on Jasper, noise of guest talking by the elevator, the light coming through the drapes because the hardware is in need of repairs, and the lack of a bathroom fan to drown out any noise: a comfortable bed with a too early wake up left me...

Second visit in two months. Exceptional service from all staff. Bellmen meet me at the valet service and always offer to take my luggage. As a Presidents Club member, the reception will offer upgrades if available. However, on both occasions, the rooms I booked were already exceptional and upgrades were not necessary. Rooms are large, quiet, have great views, and... More

This old stone building is right on the edge of downtown Edmonton looking out over the valley. The walls are lined with great photos of the hotels past and they in themselves can provide a good few hours entertainment. The hotel is walkable from most of downtown Edmonton, but there are taxis right outside, buses stop across the street and... More
