2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

steedappeal 285 reviews

The only reason to spend time in the Downtown. Anchored by the Donaldson Hotel at one end and the historic Fargo Theatre at the other. About a 3 block walk of predictable bars and restaurants. A nice try, though.

Unique Suggestions: Check out the inside of the Fargo Theatre and splurge for a drink at the Donaldson bar.
