This review is written from the point of view of a middle-aged professional on vacation who travels and entertains a LOT for business and who is very familiar with 5-star hotels in Europe and the U.S. The Hotel Donaldson is a unique, upscale hotel with some great amenities. It was clearly developed by someone with an attention to detail who... more

We stayed at the Hotel Donaldson for four nights in June. We stayed in Room One and enjoyed the hotel, except for at night. Unfortunately our room was above the bar and we could hear the music from the bar - the pulsating bass, etc, in our room. My husband called the front desk and we were offered ear plugs.... more

I had heard of this hotel from a friend and was surprised to find out how nice the hotel is. The rooms are impeccable. The art is amazing. The food in the restaurant was great. I was surprised to read the review before mine saying the front desk was sub par. I had excellent service and the front desk staff... more

Having grown up in Fargo, I was most curious to stay there on a return visit as I had heard good things about the rooms. The room was in fact lovely but there was significant noise very late on one night of my stay from revelers leaving a private party in the hotel. The front desk was frequently unattended and... more

Wow. I've traveled from Nova Scotia to Perth. This place is now my favorite of the all the hotels I've booked myself, or, in this case, was booked into by a client. Love it. Beautiful. Clean. Awesome amenities. Restaurant is terrific. Can't rave enough. Stay here. more

My husband and I stayed here on our wedding night. My father surprised us with a room and it was just perfect. It is for sure one of the best, if not the best, hotels in the Fargo/Moorhead area. Our room had a king size bed, feather down comforter, feather bed, beautiful lighting and art, nice bathroom, and was very... more

I"m lucky enough to have a job that takes me all over the word and I've stayed in some really posh places. Hotel Donaldson can hold its own with any of them and even teach the tried and true 5-stars a thing or two! It affords its guests a comfortable, confident luxury experience...sans the attitude one gets in large cites.... more

What a find. This boutique hotel is something you'd expect to find in Manhattan or Boston. The room was lovely. My only complaint was that the lighting in the bathroom was poor. The most exceptional thing about the hotel is the food in its restaurant, which was amazingly good. I had several meals there, each better than the last. more

The Donaldson reminds me a little of Ian Shrager hotels I've stayed at (St. Martin's Lane in London and Clift in San Francisco) - except much bigger, more comfortable rooms, much smaller bill, and no attitude. I like the Donaldson a lot better. I've stayed at the Donaldson three or four times but always end up in the same room... more
