Close to the water front. Was enjoyable with numerous places to eat. The only reason some of the review didn’t receive a full 5 stars was because the pool & hot tub were out of order due to previous guests damaging it.

The hotel room is gigantic and has many industrial finishes (the entire hotel is built in an old Duluth warehouse, right in the heart of the waterfront plaza full of eating, breweries and night life! Hotel parking lot was full of cars that did not have parking permits, probably going to get towed however we had to wait around to get a spot. Receptionist was super friendly and pleasant. Lots of patrons were staying because of weekend weddings, so mixed clientele of families and couples.

I went out of the hotel early in the morning (5:45) and there was someone sitting on the steps inside the entrance to the hotel, shooting up. I felt nervous walking past him and wondered if he would follow me out. I was nervous going back in wondering if he would still be there. No hotel staff or anyone else was around.

Uniquely awesome

The room was emaculate with new components. It was a unique environment and the room didn't have a window but that actually insulated it from any outside sound.

We always enjoy staying at this property. The rooms are clean and fresh with fluffy towels. The beds have a variety of pillows to chose from to insure a wonderful nights rest. The large rooms make it feel as if you're in your own apartment. The suites have full-size frig, dishwasher, microwave, and stovetop make our stay so easy and efficient. Having access to kitchen supplies come in handy when we need a plate or paper towels etc. Canal Park is so easily walkable we have a wonderful time finding new sights, things to do, or places to eat.
