I loved this boutique hotel!! High quality, clean, comfortable room. The furnishings and decor were wonderful and loved that fact that each room featured a local artist’s work. The bakery items in the morning were local and delicious. We checked in late and missed the wine and cheese hour and turn down service but will definitely stay again to enjoy this fabulous hotel. I also wish we had the chance to enjoy the Irish pub/restaurant downstairs.

Hotel Donaldson exceeded my expectations in every way. The room was immaculate. They thought of every little detail down to earplugs, chocolates by the bedside at night and drawing the shades for us. The room was even better than the pictures show. And the LoDo was an excellent venue for the event I was hosting.

Very nice hotel in downtown Fargo. Walking distance to several restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and boutiques. Loved the wine and cheese happy hour at 5:00 and the turndown service at 9:00. Pastries and coffee for breakfast was a nice start to our day. Highly recommend!
