Uniquely awesome
The room was emaculate with new components. It was a unique environment and the room didn't have a window but that actually insulated it from any outside sound.

A weekend getaway with the Mrs.
Pool, Sauna, jacuzzi. Are pleasing to my ears and an amenity that is necessary why accommodating on the road. Having some nerve damage and pain helps me get through the day so that’s a plus and come in here made my trip so much more comfortable along with having access to breakfast on a daily at no additional cost restaurant located within the hotel and a ton of other things to do within walking distance. The rooms were very spacious, comfortable clean. There was an exception of our room where I could see the corner beam protruding out of the wall on a finished war. Otherwise, the room was in good condition. The hotel was in good condition and it was in a perfect location in Canal Park right off the water.

Great location, otherwise average at best
100+ year old warehouse made into hotel / condos. Mattress was not good. No insulation. Rain, barking dogs in the room next door and the air conditioning unit on the roof were all irritatingly loud.
Staff was very polite. Location was great. Easy to walk to Tall Ships, restaurants, …

We planned a weekend in Duluth with our adult son and fiancé. The double king suite was perfect! Separate bedrooms and bathrooms along with the sitting area worked great
