The room was very clean. I felt comfortable sitting on the chair and sofa (often at hotels I'll ask for a sheet to drape over them). The bathroom had normal size shampoo, conditioner, body wash & hand soap. It also had an ample supply of towel variety. Beds were very comfortable, even the pull out sofa bed was surprisingly comfy. Our view was great. Walkable to all of Canal Park & Fitgers/Pickwick. Ample parking at the hotel. Two hot tubs. Breakfast buffet was above average for hotel breakfasts. I eat clean and was able to find things to eat but it also had the waffle station, 2 of them, and other items for the whole fam. Our room was spacious, we close a balcony suite. When we left my hubby said, "That was the nicest place we've stayed in Duluth yet." I agree and we've been coming for decades.

The whole experience was phoenominal EXCEPT for when we arrived, because of the falling & blowing snow, it was difficult to manuever my electric wheelchair up the ramp. In the morning, the snow was off the ramp, but the parking lot was still pretty rough. And we didnt leave until 12 noon. But the staff was EXCELLANT, the property was beautiful, etc. Great place.
