Disliked: Staff & service
We stayed for one night and enjoyed the location of this hotel. However, the title is misleading. It is not on the waterfront. It is about two blocks from Lake superior and there are no views of the lake. The check-in staff was dismal, they give you a voucher for breakfast, which was pretty poor selection. There were lots of homeless people hanging out in front of the hotel making it feel a bit awkward to walk in and out. Parking lot was fine to park in the afternoon, but by evening, it was completely full and very difficult to find a spot. We were placed in a room that did not have any windows, however, it was quite large with two exit doors. Just seemed pretty dark and depressing. In and around the entryways of the building, there were holes and divots in the walls that made the hotel look kind of dingy. It wasn’t horrible, but it was definitely not a favorite in Duluth.

Property was clean overall. I was quite worried as I booked prior to reading reviews that stated the lobby smelled like urine. I don’t think the lobby smelled like urine but rather smelled like beer. There is a bar located across the hall so maybe that is where the smell came from. Overall it was tolerable. We had a 1 bedroom suite with a living room and pull out couch. We had to request linens for the couch but they brought it up to us so no big deal. Kitchen appeared well stocked. Our room felt stuffy and hot, tried to adjust the temp and it did not help. The second day maintenance came and showed us what we did wrong. This improved the temp but later in the evening it was hot/stuffy again. Bathroom was clean enough but someone else’s hair was on the floor in the corner so not super clean. Staff were lovely. Breakfast was standard with many average hotel like options. We would stay there again as the price was right. It is a remodeled warehouse so a bit odd however I liked the way they reworked it. We did not use the pool but it looked average and in good condition. Location is perfect with many food options nearby and walking distance to canel park.

Located right in the beating heart of canal Park Right where we wanted to be and walkable to the lake walk, the canal, the aerial lift bridge, and more restaurants than I could eat at in the month. The room was an excellent suite, full kitchen for those meals you may want to cook. Nice large pool area, excellent breakfast. There is also convenient parking on either side of the building that was free. We plan to stay there again next time we're in Duluth.

This is a great hotel location. The rooms are quite outdated if that matters to you. It was quite noisy. The sound traveled a lot. We had a middle room with a hallway on either side which probably contributed to the noise. The bed was decent. The staff was very nice and let us have a late checkout which was helpful. The pool area looked nice, we didn’t use it though. Overall the best thing was its location. Right by the marina and all the little shops and restaurants.
