Relaxing experience at Macdonald Morlich Hotel
Overall a very comfortable experience. This is the second time we stayed in Macdonald's hotel, opted for half board and loved our meals everynight. Breakfast was great, would be nice to have meatfree options for vegetarians, even if not in buffet but can offer to prepare it if requested, still loved scones and beans and pancakes, kind and caring staff.

Reservations Disaster
Awful experience, booked 2 rooms for two couples on same booking and they put us in two different hotels on site. No explanation, blamed reservations, guy behind desk sat on chair didn't stand up to talk to us, all very young staff with little experience. Eventually operations Manger gave us £30 off bottle of wine for inconvenience. Had to convince them to let us dine together at breakfast in the morning in oen hotel.

Paying for location
The hotel was tired and very expensive so you are paying for location. The room, especially the bathroom was badly finished and the shower average ..it did its job. The bedroom was small, bed ok and the view was of mountains and resort. It, however, was noisy and over-looked the bins so not much sleep was had. The Italian restaurant on site was good and catered for all tastes. Service was prompt considering the amount of customers. Breakfast was ok.

Lovely hotel
Pros - lovely hotel. Clean and tidy. Staff polite, friendly and helpful. Great location. Excellent breakfast.
Cons - someone in room nearby smoking in their room and the smell travelling into our bathroom. Bed and pillows not very comfortable. Wakened at 6am every morning with loud doors creaking and banging closed. Unsure if this was the cleaning staff.

Staff attitude unhelpful and occasionally rude, particularly on arrival. Evening meal at their Italian restaurant made me ill.
Room was clean, other facilities are dated but appeared well-maintained. Checked out early.
Avoid this place.

Full marks to McDonald hotels.
We happened to be staying on one of their Santa Claus weekends and the atmosphere was lovely with lots of excited kids. The staff were great dressed in xmas jerseys and a lot of elves about. The hotel was very warm and welcoming the staff excellent, and a very comfortable room.
