The hotel was very unique, well kept and easy to check into. The area around the hotel doesn't feel very safe so for a solo traveler, I may not recommend this.

I thought the renovation was amazing. It is quick and easy access to everything downtown and Canal Point. The neighborhood is also being renovated. We were on the first floor in front of the street window so there was some noise later in the evening. Overall, will absolutely come back. The room itself was lovely!!!

Amazing location, we parked and walked to everything. We parked on the street right next to the hotel. We were nervous about the car but everything was fine. The hotel is so unique and each room tells a different story. The beds were super comfortable. The bathroom was huge! Loved the onsite bar!! We will only stay here when in Duluth. Side note food at canal park brewery is excellent and ice cream at love creamery is a must!

Cool hotel with friendly bar on main floor. Beds were comfortable. Room very clean. Easy parking across the street. The only negative was the sad state of downtown Duluth - I wasn't expecting big city problems in a small town (high # of homeless, obnoxious e-bikers along the lake path, etc.).

We were on our Bikes and as soon as we pulled up there was an unhoused person on the sidewalk across the street. Street parking was the option and we checked in and out online and did not even go in. We went to another hotel in an area that felt safer. The hotel looked really cute from the outside.
