A Disappointing Return…read more I'm genuinely sad to be updating my review from 5 stars to 1 star because my stay here last year was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. I praised Hotel Donaldson publicly, recommended it without hesitation, returned this year intentionally, and even purchased their merchandise. That context matters because this comes from a former fan. Unfortunately, this year's stay was a dramatic step backward. The biggest issue started immediately with parking. I arrived during a blizzard, with snow piled to the curb and no visible valet staff despite valet parking being advertised. I had to self-park and then go inside to find staff, which defeats the purpose of offering valet, especially in severe weather. The following day, I asked the reception about the consequences of not moving my car due to snow accumulation and was told it would be a $30 citation (less than the cost of parking, so I rolled the dice). The next day, I returned to find my car had been towed. To be clear, I accept responsibility for ignoring posted signage. My frustration is not about being towed. It's about the lack of warning or proactive guidance from the hotel, particularly when this is clearly a known issue. When I later mentioned it downstairs at the restaurant, staff and patrons openly acknowledged that this happens often. That disconnect is avoidable and disappointing. Beyond parking, the lack of basic guest amenities became impossible to ignore. There is no microwave in the room or reliably available at all. I called reception to see if they could rewarm some soup, and was told: "Sorry, no, our only microwave has been loaned out to a long-term guest." There is also no ice machine, requiring a call to reception and a trip to the desk. "Room service" is limited to the downstairs restaurant's hours, which do not always include breakfast. The in-room technology is outdated and feels out of place in a boutique hotel charging premium rates. Last year, these were minor quirks overshadowed by exceptional hospitality. This year, they compounded into a frustrating experience, especially during a winter storm when guests are spending more time in their rooms. I'm writing this publicly not to pile on, but in the hope that it reaches someone empowered to make changes. Hotel Donaldson used to be something special. I know it can be again. Right now, though, the experience no longer matches the reputation that once made it a highlight of my travels.

I had a great stay while in Fargo. This will likely be my go-to hotel when I'm there for business…read moretrips to Fargo. Kim, front desk, is the very definition of good hospitality! The amenities are outstanding: pool, sauna, clean well-equipped gym and nice courtyard with drinks and snacks. The rooms are very clean, nicely laid out, equipped with everything you need to cook (full size fridge, stovetop, utensils/cookware/plates), etc. Very nice! The only thing I would add would be more breakfast options for those of us that are vegans; however, I know it's the Midwest so that's asking a lot. Maybe adding some fresh fruit like grapes, berries, granola, etc. Also pancakes or waffles would be nice. This is the reason for the 4.5 stars instead of 5

We booked a Moosetracks K whirlpool suite for our final stop in ND, a relaxing 1ni stay. We debated…read morebringing swimwear but decided that we'd prefer the whirlpool over a crowded pool. It was a wise choice. This is a favorite hotel for us. The "log cabin-ish" theme carries throughout, with extra focus/ detail on the themed suites. (My only complaint on the top-tier suites is that they're right at the top of the stairs and people LOVE thumping up and down them, loudly. We went with the room category down, which still has a separate whirlpool that's not in the restroom though it doesn't have a TV & fireplace specifically for said whirlpool. A fair sacrifice for a quiet room. The room was clean and spacious, with woodland creature adornments (moosetrack room). Breakfast was not worth stopping for. One pan of hot items, apples, and sweet stuff - even the blueberries were sweetened. (If you're there for the evening reception, that's definitely worth attending.) There were ample towels & outlets. It came it right at $150 after taxes/fees. We slept well & woke up refreshed, ready for our long drive.

This place has a little bit of everything. We like to look at the tiny shop store next to the plant shop with all the very small versions of popular toys and games. Just a lot of fun exploring the bins. Plenty of places to sit and eat or third space chill in. Whenever we're in town we try to see what's new. Hopefully it'll keep growing!

If you're from MN and have ever been to the former Keg and Case, Brewhalla is a replica. Same…read morebuild, same idea of a food hall, etc. I loved it here! Since Keg and Case went out of business, being here brought back all the feels. It seems like every state is getting a food hall of some sort. What sets Brewhalla a part is that it's also a hotel. Yes, you heard right. The hotel is level 3 and above while the food hall is level 1 and 2. I can't speak towards the hotel specifically, yet I do know it's pet friendly which is always a win in my book. Built in 2023, Brewhalla is relatively new which means the facility is very clean and sterile. The bathrooms are huge and near each bathroom is a nice water filter stand to fill water bottles along with complimentary cups and even dog bowls for the furry friends. Seating is massive with lots of options from small tables to high tops to long picnic benches and couches. Personally, I would recommend working here if you are a remote employee. With lots of natural light due to the large windows, you can sit in or out. It's not super packed at least on the weekdays, and feels very zen. There are various indoor plants sprinkled around the building along with twinkle lights. The vibe is both edgy and modern. There most unique shop in the hall sells miniature items. You have to see it to believe it. Another unique component is the classroom labeled Unglued which offers various art classes such as stain glass making and print making. Make sure you look online at all the food options and stores prior to arriving. There's wood fired pizza, oysters, ice cream, bars, and even a dog station with toys and treats. Overall, everyone can find something here for them. I wish Brewhalla great success and hope it stays in business!! Bravo!!!

Located in the downtown district, this is a hopping area with many surrounding bars, restaurants, coffee shops and shopping spaces. Jasper Hotel is pet friendly which is a huge win!!! If you're seeking out pet friendly hotels, check this one out. It's certainly upscale, clean and lovely. The main level lobby has a pool table, comfy couch seating, chess board, books, plants, complimentary water station, clean bathrooms, Rosewild, bar, coffee stop, small snack area and gifts such as branded coffee mugs and umbrellas. Each time I have entered Jasper Hotel, the staff has been complimentary and kind. Had I not had an Air b n b, I would certainly consider Jasper Hotel considering I have two dogs. Bravo on accommodating dogs, Jasper. After all, they are part of the family too.

I loved the room, I had a King side bed and it was sooo comfortable! The bathroom was spacious and there was a cute little coffee bar, fridge, closet and work desk. Everything was out together really well and I loved how bright and airy the room was. I also really liked their fitness and sauna rooms. Like wow!! Most hotels don't invest in these things while Jasper Hotel did the opposite -- they invested heavy here and also chose top quality products. I wish I had that fitness room and sauna room at my house lol. The front desk staff were also really very kind and nice. I liked there was a bar/restaurant on the main floor right by check in too. And they had a pool table on the main floor too!! So much to do, the space was utilized perfectly. Fair pricing and so clean and airy. I'll be back when I'm in Fargo again.

I spent the week working about three hours outside of Fargo. I've returned to the city to wait for…read moremy flight that leaves tomorrow. Of course I'm going to stay at the local Marriott wherever I am and this time it happens to be the courtyard in Fargo. I arrived after dark, but the location was well lit and prominent even from the expressway. I did take a little detour down the road and back up just to see what was close by. There are a ton of restaurants very close to this hotel. There's also a Costco directly across the street. It looks like there is quite a bit more in this area, but being that it's late and I just drove three hours. I decided to go ahead and check in to the hotel. either the hotel has been kept up very well or it is relatively new. The style is very pleasing on the outside. Parking was a breeze and there is ample parking spaces available. It looks to be what I believe a hospital on the other side of the parking lot but as of now I have not heard any loud noises from ambulances, etc. Once inside the decor definitely looks like it is a newer courtyard property. The decor is earth tones with a lot of very comfortable looking seating. There is also a very nice looking bar on the main floor. The staff member who checked me in tonight was super friendly. He was very helpful with giving me the location of everything within the hotel, as well as the hours for the bar and for breakfast in the morning. I was promptly given my key and directed towards the elevator. Upon entering my room, I immediately noticed a door to my left. The door seemed abnormally large, and for a moment, I thought that perhaps it was the door to the adjoining room & had been left open. However, it was actually the door to an enormous bathroom. The bathroom is well appointed, nice and bright, and has a gigantic shower. There was an over abundance of towels in the bathroom, and I don't even believe that I requested extras for the stay. Further entry into the room revealed a nice king size bed, a great sofa and ottoman, a very big flatscreen TV, a mini fridge that is hidden in a cabinet, and a super long desk. This room is definitely meant for business travelers or those who travel with a lot of electronics. I love love, love love rooms with enough plugs so that I can charge all of my devices at once. I work in IT so I often travel with multiple laptops and many peripherals. Right now I have everything all set up so that I can get up in the morning and start work. On both sides of the bed, there is also ample places to plug in devices using both AC adapters as well as USB. If this is a new hotel, and this is the new style that Marriott is going with by putting so many ways to charge devices in rooms, I'm all for it. I ended up going back downstairs to grab something to drink and ran into the same friendly associate. I'm now chilling and having a drink and about to watch a movie. This courtyard is a 10 out of 10.

I traveled for work, so when I come back to North Dakota, I'll definitely be staying here. Loved my visit, and thank you to the Doubletree resort for making my stay enjoyable.

Horrible bathroom (first time ever the TP holder had been ripped out, BUT there was no mess because…read moresomeone had cleaned up). In addition the shower only had one temp - HOT - and the tub doesn't drain (terrible to stand in a pool of water). I let the front desk know & they were in different. It's too bad because the property looks new and the bar / restaurant / lobby are nice & it's a short ride to the airport (~15 min). It's interesting because while it looks new, the a/c was on the u it itself and never got anyone near the low setting of 61 degrees (we stayed late July w temps in mid 90s outside). Road noise from interstate was constant at night. Beds were pretty good. I didn't go in pool or gym, but both were small but looked clean.
