Room was nice. Bed was comfortable. Covid is over. No reason not to empty trash and refresh room each day. Breakfast area needs redesigned or have trays available. Only two tables downstairs all other tables are up a lot of steps for seniors and small children trying to carry everything. Front desk was nice. Had to replace a key once. My fault I had been warned. Pool and hot tub were fine. Not really ADA friendly. Parking lot is across the street or behind the building. No way to exit to street with using stairs.

I would have to say, Derrick who checked us in was very welcoming and hospitable. Our original room had a very strong chlorine smell from the pool. The second room was larger but had an unpleasant smell. (had to get room air freshener). The room was also dirty with spider webs in the window. Furniture was dusty. A layer deep enough to write in.

It had a vintage/old ship-type aesthetic which was pretty cool. Excellent location for shopping and walking to sights. The downside is that I had a wagon/stroller for my kids that I had to lift up the stairs. I wasn’t able to find a wheelchair accessible section, but maybe I missed it.

Property seems clean enough, Iif pretty beat-up. Rooms are big. My friend and I came to Duluth for Bayfront Blues Fest. Our stay was Thursday thru Sunday- checking out on Monday. Not once did housekeeping visit our room. Sunday morning I asked at the front desk for at least new towels and trash emptied while we were gone and was told that they needed 24 hours advance notice to do this…

First off one key did not work. Our room was certainly not cleaned! Bed was made, though there was Stuff on floor, not vacuumed, long hairs in tub and on sink, no toilet paper on roll, a dirty sock balled up under bathroom vanity, towels not filled, and garbage not emptied. Ruined entire trip which was difficult to get my husband to go to start with. Attempted to call front desk which was evidently busy so that pretty much ended our get away!

Great staff, great location. Lots of dining options nearby. I’ve stayed here several times, and it’s always great. Pool, hot tub, and sauna are nice. Room has several amenities. I must admit that our room was in need of some fresh paint and touch ups. Breakfast was super busy and the staff couldn’t keep up with the food and cleaning the tables. Our sheets also had a stain.

Poor person at the front desk was left alone to handle everything by herself during prime checkin time. No housekeeping available. Smelled of urine outside the elevators.
