Great location and lovely buildings. Service and food good. Disappointing surcharges at breakfast considering one of our number didn’t have breakfast and they weren’t good value.

The MacDonald Bear Hotel is a special place indeed, so old (yet extremely modern) that the uneven floors make you think you've been drinking even when you haven't! We loved it and would return. Thank you.
