We had stayed at the Hotel Macdonald several times before... but this time was disappointing. I think that when you market yourself as the classiest hotel in town and charge those rates, then you better get the details right. Breakfast in the Harvest Room was very average, though expensive. Music in the bar was loud and inappropriate for the historic setting. Rooms were a bit depressing.

Overall we enjoyed this property and the staff. Our one and only issue came up the morning we checking out; the washroom pipes stopped draining. The tub wouldn’t drain and toilet as well. When I brought this up to front desk with were kind and took care of us. This was just a issue with buildings of this age.

There was loud people a few doors down - likely coming back from the Morgan Wallen concert until late at night which was unfortunate. But the cot was all set up when we got there which was perfect.

Priya from room service was great. Almost everyone else didn’t really care. We could not get the bed lights off at 3 am. The night manager, who was unable to turn them off, was outright rude. I ended up having to cover the lights with towels so that we could get to sleep. They fixed it the next day. Then the internet went out and two technicians were in the room for more than an hour. Many staff members asked how was our stay but gave us a “Sorry “ at most. Only when we checked out the day manager gave us two nights free parking. Far from adequate compensation for such an expensive hotel.
