Our stay at Hotel Donaldson exceeded our expectations. The hotel is quiet and well maintained. Our room was modern, spacious and clean. The staff is very kind and helpful. There is a nice happy hour from 4-5. They end the evening with prepping your bed for the night and leave truffles as a bedtime treat. In the morning they will bring coffee and pastries to your room at your requested time. Overall a lovely experience and look forward to staying there again.

We stumbled on this hotel after needing to cancel at another one for reasons I won’t get into here. They have a happy hour with wine and snacks at 5pm each day, coffee and breakfast in the morning, a turn down service with chocolates, and these heavyweight bathrobes that are a dream. The rooms are beautiful and decorated with local artist creations. We loved every minute of our stay there.
