Amazing Hotel

Great location in Downtown Fargo, really friendly staff and the room was great value. Very clean, spacious and modern with all the amenities i needed. Wine hour in the evening and free pastries for breakfast are a nice touch.

Perfect place to enjoy downtown Fargo!

The staff were second to none - everyone from the front desk, custodial staff and housekeeping. Extremely helpful and kind. Hotel is in a perfect location! Only downside is parking (which is no fault to their own) - but nothing you wouldn't expect in a downtown location. DON'T let that hinder your decision to stay here. The staff was extremely helpful in going over our parking options. Definitely will be a returning customer!

We loved this little boutique hotel! Everyone at desk was helpful, friendly and welcoming! Fantastic location in downtown Fargo and located above a favorite, Blarney Stone restaurant. Hotel was clean, updated, cozy rooms. We stayed in luxury double offering great space to relax with our college kiddo. Offered light breakfast and coffee which was still perfect. We walked to Marge’s for an amazing breakfast! Fargo downtown is really a special place. Vinyl taco across street, walk to Pounds for awesome burgers! Stay at the Hotel Donaldson!

Turned 50 in Fargo!

Very enjoyable stay. A very unique hotel in a good way. The size of the room we were in was amazing. The art was really cool. Both my wife and I woke up without having a sore back which led me to inquire about where they get their beds. Initially I was wondering about the noise level being downtown and all, but their ventilation system serves as perfect white noise. I didn't hear any traffic. Will definitely stay here again!

It was such a beautiful hotel in a great, Central, fun location in downtown Fargo. I Loved how it is an old, beautifully renovated building. The Staff were wonderful and attentive and they had all the extra touche: a Wine and cheese hour, room service, bed turned down with chocolates. I just loved it and I would definitely stay here again!
