What is wrong with the Hotel Macdonald? It used to be quite nice especially after the major renovation (10 years ago?). Fairmont usually has nice properties.

Nothing... problem is if the city is hosting 12 teams, and the NHL/NHLPA want only 2 teams per hotel, you need about 6 "high quality" hotels.

Edmonton has three: JW Marriott, Fairmont Hotel MacDonald, and Westin (which honestly, is probably a stretch too, but teams sometimes stay there when they are in town).

There's a lot of others downtown - Delta City Center, Sutton Place, Doubletree, Courtyard by Marriott, but I'm not sure those meet the standards the NHL / NHLPA is looking for. Most of the other cities on the list - certainly Vancouver and Toronto - have more "quality" hotels in the downtown core.

If they were doing four teams per hotel, you'd only need three "high quality" hotels and could probably make a case, but finding six is a challenge.

Lots of teams have stayed in the Sutton Place hotel historically (I used to work in the Bell Tower and you'd often seen players wandering the pedways from there) but yeah - it's a bit dated.

I always have heard Hotel Mac has tiny rooms too. If you were going to spend two months in a hotel room with little to do, I think that wouldn't be the one you'd want. (Caveat - Hotel Mac is one Fairmont property I've never stayed a night in so this is anecdotal.)

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
