I really liked how the people at the front desk were very friendly. Explained everything of our stay, how our room keys would work,etc. I liked how they had a free breakfast during our stay. Not a whole breakfast station but it had pastries, fruit, coffee, juice and yogurt. Very nice and well stocked. Clean room and comfy bed. I'll return to this hotel for sure.

This hotel is well maintained but in need of updates. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is amazing. We were aware that it was the oldest hotel in the area but minor touch ups would go a long way.

Daniel (front desk) was the best host! He called us the night before to pre-order breakfast...which was unexpected and awesome...he was well informed with regards to dining and breakfast facilities...he was very attentive and made the experience feel more than what we payed for! Great experience at MacRae Hotel!
