Loved the vibe of this hotel! Very much giving Sex in the City! I do, however, wish that check in could have been earlier than 4pm without an additional fee, but other than that we loved our stay here and would definitely stay again as well as recommend to our family and friends!

This is a unique place to stay, with an interesting connection to Duluth history. The beds were very comfortable, off-site service was extremely responsive, and the entire property was very clean. Assuming you appreciate the difference between this property and a more typical hotel, you will enjoy a stay here very much.

Tough to keep track of all the emails with information such as access codes for front door and the room door. An interesting and historic building, that smells like restaurant fryer oil on the main floor. Municipal parking ramp across the road is not typical. You park and pay online then access the next day can be difficult. I couldn’t find an unlocked door this morning. Had to wait for someone to leave in order to get to my vehicle. The main benefits would be price and cleanliness. My room is nice and clean.

Beautiful hotel in downtown Duluth
They have done a really nice job with this property. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. They did a good job communicating door codes and check in information prior to our arrival. The parking garage across the street did seem secure and safe. We did not see anyone loitering. Downtown Duluth was a little rougher than we anticipated and our room had quite a bit of traffic noise with being in the front of the hotel (Mayor Snively). Would likely not be a problem for others, but with kids we are in bed earlier. Overall a fun experience.

Only downfall was that the restaurant is so close to two of the rooms and that the room didn’t have a window. Made me nervous for fire hazards, but that info was available when I booked so it wasn’t a surprise.

We only stayed a night and the room was nice and spacious, the bed was really comfortable. The only issue we had was our room was right across from the restaurant so it was pretty loud. It closes at 9:30 so no bother after they were done cleaning. But communication clear.
