Parking was across thw street, which was not very convenient. Room was not ready at check in time and it looked like it wasn't cleaned well, if at all. Room was not restocked with toilet paper, garbage bags or paper towels i had to go get them.

It’s a transformed warehouse so there’s many halls and turns to find your room. Mediocre breakfast. Staff was good.

This place has great culture! We ended up in a middle room so no windows but 2 doors. The kids thought it was great. Super close to the Lift Bridge and the Lake Walk. Great restaurants attached and nearby. Room was HUGE and very clean.

We loved the location and staff were friendly and accommodating. Our room was comfortable and mostly kid friendly. The sink was a bit high for small kids (4-7) to reach, but overall, great experience!

Location and size of rooms make this hotel great for families. However, rooms are not very clean, I do not think there vacuums work very well nor do they vacuum under beds or along edge of rooms. I recommend bringing lysol wipes for peace of mind and wiping things down yourself, Also if you have little ones, check the floor as this is the 2nd year in a row we found a pill on the floor and other dangerous items that a toddler might swallow(popcorn, pen cap etc.) Pool was also closed first two night which was a bummer. Definitely a trade off at this location but there is no property that has it all in this location in Duluth.
