1. Woke up at 2 am with street noise and room too hot. AC stopped working during the night. Staff responded quickly. AC restarted by itself. 2. Room facing the street has poor sound proofing. Woke up with street noise Saturday night. 3. AC is noisy. 4. No parking. Valet parking extra. You have to park in no parking area to complete room registration up on the second floor. 5. Excellent bed. Good coffee. 6. Not good vaue for money.

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.
