Guest reviews for Macdonald Bear Hotel

5 out of 5

Old world charm, great location and service

My wife and children took two suites, great traditional feel. Not the most modern, but clean functional and comfortable. You don't go to several hundred year old establishments for the latest in granite and glass - this has charm and comfort in a great setting.
