Parking can be tough late on a weekend night. Staff was beyond great. Late night dining options (after 1030 or so) limited to Old Chicago next door. Hoops Brewery put their front entrance is definately worth quenching your thirst at. Beds were comfy, not too soft but not a slab of wood either. Rooms were clean and well laid out. Had zero issues!

The unit was rooomy with a bedroom,bath,kitchen area and a living/dining table. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was good but that was it. I asked for Sunday to be added on due my conference and they said "yes" but a man was pounding on the door Sunday night and said I was supposed to leave but I said Monday morning as I had agreed. One desk clerk said Tuesday which was way out- Monday was it. So it was unpleasant. to locatin was near the convention center but it was a bit of a walk. A few restrurants around but the front desk was no help.The place was OK a bit old but adequate and in a good location for the convention center. But there were places downtown with shuttles that might have been better. There was not much going on. It was adequate and an option to the convention center.Not going back to Duluth MN -it was a one time trip.

Only truly bad thing was the breakfast. No milk. No meat. Pounder eggs looked like oatmeal and by 8 alomst all the pasteries were gone and there were a ton of people still coming in.
