I have been taking my winter vacation at Fairmont Macdonald since 2018. I fell in love with the beautiful hotel and the lovely riverbank walks. The staff at the Gold level were very hospitable. I forgot the name of one of the staff there (he wears a grey suit), but he makes me feel completely at home and extremely nice. Also, a tall housekeeping staff servicing rooms for nightly turnover service was wonderful in bringing ice and water for me. I want to acknowledge both of them here. Next time, I will make sure I get their names.

staff was amazing and so helpful, always enjoy a stay at a fairmont. The property however is in need of a lot of care. There was a stain left on the loveseat in my room that does not take a lot of imagination as to what it was. The steam room smelled like sewer and mold. The hot sauna has not been cared for or cleaned, the cedar was so poorly cared for it peeling off on my swimsuit. It was not an enjoyable experience.
