Awesome Views from Top Floor Suite!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bath suite on top floor. Had an incredible view of lake, lift bridge etc kiddy corner from historic depot so we could easily walk across street to board our dinner train. Room had state of the art amenities (Inc 3 TV's), very comfortable beds, beautiful glass door showers, total of 12 windows with awesome views, quiet. Would definitely stay again!

My wife and I often come up to Duluth for the weekend from Minneapolis. If you're aware of the seasonal prices around Duluth this time of year (summer/tourist season), you know how expensive it can be to stay there. Anyway, we decided to give Force on 5th a try because it was coming up as one of the least expensive places to stay on the weekend we were there. We were pleasantly surprised with the place. It looks like it's a newly renovated building. Our room was nice. Everything was new, the bed was comfortable, and it had a great view. Maybe the only drawback about this place (which is barely a drawback), is that they do not have their own dedicated parking. We ended up parking across the street at the city parking garage, which was must less expensive than many places we've stayed, but we did not have in and out privilege's. Otherwise, we were told we could also park in the civic center parking garage for $10 per night with in and our privileges. Overall, it is a great place to stay and the drawback (e.g., parking) is minimal. I think we will be staying here when we visiti Duluth going forward.

The hotel itself was great. Spacious rooms and bathrooms. The view is nice when its not foggy. However the parking situation was not good at all. I understand its downtown with no parking lot but when you have to walk two blocks to a parking garage at night. No thanks. And if you forget something in your car theres no going back. Also the traffic is noisy on 5th avenue.

Nice room with a few problems

Overnight to visit daughter at college. 3 issues re this stay. Room 604. Our thermostat was locked so I had to freeze at 68 degrees all night. Water pressure in our room was terribly low and TV was supposed to be a Smart TV but this was not hooked up or working.

Hard to find and way over priced.

The hotel entrance is almost impossible to find. Finally I called the receptionist at the hotel, and she explained that there isn't any type of "overhang" to load and unload luggage. I was told to park in the "loading zone on the street. There is NO hotel parking, I was told I could park in the Civic center lot (which dumps you into a back alley with dumpsters etc). Then walk down to the hotel. No pop machines. Snack "bar" is a box of candy & chips next to the front desk. The suite was nice but VERY echoey. I think it needs a few more area rugs to dampen the noise. No handicap access to get in through the front door. At these prices The Force is going have step up its game. It's cheaper and far more convenient to stay in Canal Park. Which is where I will stay on my next trip to Duluth.
