We recently stayed at the McDonald Norwood Hotel and had a truly pleasant experience. From the moment we arrived, the lady at the front desk stood out with her warm and friendly manner. She made the check-in process smooth and welcoming, instantly making us feel comfortable after a long journey. Throughout our stay, she was more than happy to assist with anything we needed — a true asset to the hotel team. Our room was lovely, spacious, and clean, with a beautiful view of the surrounding woods. It added a peaceful touch to our stay, making it even more relaxing. Overall, the service and setting made for a wonderful visit. I would gladly return and recommend it to others looking for a quiet and friendly place to stay.

We liked the peaceful setting and the staff made you feel special, very attentive but not fawning over you. The hotel had an old world charm but efficiently run with modern technology. Food and service excellent.

It met my needs for a bed to stay for the night, but room service was very slow for ice , had to recall (I know…. 1st world problems). Also the shower curtain was quite dirty, surprised to still see one of them in a hotel. Parking was very poor but there was a wedding on. This was unfortunately under my room but was nice to hear their last dance 😂.

Very nice place. Quiet, with beautiful surroundings. Close enough to the city center. An old railroad track had been made into a walking and cycling trail near by.

Lovely stay here for a wedding. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food and drink were good quality too. Our room could have used a bit of a spruce up - mainly just the bathroom as we liked the traditional decor. Would definitely return though.
