Great downtown location, however room with a chill
Great location in Downtown Duluth, easy walking distance to shops, coffee shops and restaurants. The room was clean and the remote check-in service was outstanding with clear communication. The temperature in the room was the biggest downfall. When we arrived, the temperature was 61 degrees. Although we set the thermostat at near 80 degrees, the temperature in the room never got over 67 degrees so the room was a constant discomfort. There is a small electric fireplace heater that was helpful, but the room remained cool throughout the night. The bed has a nice thick comforter so sleeping was not an issue due to the colder temps in the room.

I read the past reviews very carefully from the lowest ones to the highest ones. To start, parking for the weekend ended up being free at the HART parking lot likely because of a failed gate machine. That was a plus! To get to the elevator, you have to walk past the sushi restaurant. You may or may not find that appealing. I felt that it was ok. It's not any different than some other places. I loved the decor and the vibe the hallways and the room. I didn't get a chance to use some of the amenities but it definitely deserves at least a 4/5.

It was nice and a great place to stay. I would say it is fairly loud during the day due to the bustle of downtown, if you plan to stay and need leisure during the day find a way to drown out the noise.

Verry cool...
Very cool. Entrance is a little goofy with the restaurant and it would have been nice to have a front desk to get food and entertainment suggestions from. However they were very up front about what to expect and we weren't caught off guard. Would definitely use them again.
