Great historic renovated hotel. Good security system that is needed in this part of town.

We really enjoyed staying here! Such a cool, cozy place. We do recommend bringing a portable fan if staying in the summer, as it can get a little warm (not horrible though). The beds were very comfortable! We definitely recommend!

Perfect stay for one night in Duluth. Very well done, keep the charm of the “old” while providing new and updated touches. It’s a little noisy due to the location but over all a wonderful stay. Very clean!

Started with a reservation snafu, that was quickly sorted by staff via email and text. This is a self check-in hotel that worked smoothly. The room was recently renovated with an enormous bed, clean bathroom and included a mini fridge and coffeemaker. Everything worked as expected. The location is downtown convenient to the Duluth Coffee Company, shopping and the waterfront. WE didn't have the opportunity to visit Sniveleys Lounge in the hotel or the Rathskeller Bar in the basement. Maybe next time!

Was super confusing for check in because no front desk or staff. If there was some sort of information or instructions when we walked in it would have been helpful. The ONLY complaint we had was what to do when we needed more toilet paper.

The only wish or thing we would suggest is door barrier to hall. Guests were out socializing- being respectful - but the environment had an echo and even the quiet voices were loud for us. This included the gap at floor if door in bathroom. It was odd!

We really loved the art all around the building. Very esthetically pleasing. It was exactly what we were hoping for. Parking was the only downside. Overall it was a great place! It was a very special weekend getaway for us and we got engaged in the room. The set up we got for the romance proposal package was wonderful and really made it special.

Liked this business concept. But the remodel makes "Everything" outside the room is chaos. Bar is closed on Sunday and Monday. Neither mentioned on Expedia when making reservation. Wonderfully unique room. Great room amenities; fireplace, dimmable chandelier, massage shower. But no chair? Or stool near bkfst bar. Beds are super comfy! Nice break from the busy city right outside the door. Thanks!
