The place was decorated beautifully. However, the one of the bathrooms, which was a barn door, did not have a lock. And it could be tricky to open from the inside. The beds were very comfortable and everyone slept well. The hot tub downstairs had just gotten fixed and so it was very chlorinated. but it was lovely overall to have the pool, sauna and hot tub. The location could not be beat.

Fabulous North Shore Getaway!

The Aurora Black @ The Brix was amazing! Great location, super comfortable accommodations (everything was as described in the listing) and exceptional hosts! Our plans changed and they were able to accommodate our changes to make our trip extra special! We’ve traveled to Duluth multiple times and this was one of our most unforgettable trips because of everything Aurora Black has to offer!
The Aerial Lift Bridge is a short, comfortable walk from Aurora Black…a must visit when the weather was as beautiful as this!

Duluth Family Getaway

The Brix is a great option for a family getaway to Duluth. Space is clean and thoughtfully decorated / organized to allow for relaxation! Kitchen is fully appointed with all utensils and supplies you might need plus an extra roll of paper towel! Great coffee/tea bar. We had plenty of towels which was handy for after pool rinsing. I might suggest bringing lotion to combat the chlorine! Kids loved the pool - a huge factor in our choosing this location. The Brix is close to almost everything and we were able to leave our car and walk everywhere such as the Railroad Museum. Be aware, the local food mart does not have much options so load up on groceries so you don’t need to leave Canal Park. We loved our stay and would recommend it to others.
