Parking is across the street from hotel. Not very secure. Hotel check in was supposed to be 4pm. We arrived at 445pm and we were told our room wasn't ready. We finally were able to check in around 6pm!!! Ridiculous!!!!!! Rude staff at front desk. The only helpful person was a guy who I believe was the manager. The rest of the employees at the front desk didn't care or seem to have a clue about anything. No one apologized for inconvenience & were not given a discount for anything. We will never be returning here again!

Started off on a rough start they didn’t have our room ready hour and a half after check in time. Then gave us room keys to a room that already had someone in it. Which made the experience bad. But after that and we got settled in the room was nice and the parking was free which was great. And great location. Some areas of the hotel need updating but inside the room was nice.

Worst stay in the history of our hotel stays Background: Traveling to Duluth with my 66 year old mother to watch our cousin play hockey for the Bulldogs. She's 66 and in heart failure. Traveling is already hard to do. 4pm: Check into our hotel, drop our stuff off, head out 8pm: Bring my mom back to the hotel to rest and walk into our room which is full of other people's belonging splayed all over the room with our stuff tucked into a corner. About $1,000 worth of my mom's heart medication, included. Staff say sorry, put us in a new room Leave my mom in new room ASSURED by staff it won't happen again 11pm: get a call from my mom that a male entered her bedroom with a key (because it was "his" room) and was just assigned by the front desk Not once, but TWICE people were assigned our room that we were already in. This is a huge breach of privacy and a BIG problem. Something seriously bad could've happened (robbery, assault, heart attack, etc) Our night was robbed, our privacy was robbed and our drive to travel again and trust the process is at a zero.

We didn’t use the hotel’s wifi. There was a used towel hanging at the back of the bathroom door and dirty utensils in the dishwasher. The nightstand, tv console and table surfaces were dusty. The tv was not plugged in at the back as well! We’ve informed the guy at the reception right away and he did apologize. But, unfortunately didn’t rectify the situation. We’ve called and requested for bed linens and pillows that took us more than 30 minutes to wait. The guy at the reception said he’ll bring them “when he get the chance.”. There were no other staffs around aside from the two guys at the reception. I have to go down and get them myself as we’re all tired especially the kids, from the long travel. We also took the initiative to at least dust off the surfaces so that we can already prepare for sleep. I was not comfortable and feel unsafe with the parking area as It was across the street and in an open area. Despite of it all, bathroom was new, bed was comfortable and the AC was good!

However, when we checked in, we noticed a few cleanliness issues that were concerning. There was hair in the sink, unflushed waste in the toilet, and oddly, pieces of cheese left in the bathroom. These things gave the impression that the space hadn't been properly cleaned before our arrival. We’d appreciate it if this could be addressed for future guests. Thank you for your attention.
