We really enjoyed our stay. It would be nicer if they had small garbage cans in our bedroom instead of having to go to the small kitchen or the bathroom every time. Also they should provide at least coffee in the morning. It doesn't have a hostel vibe, there's no intercultural exchange but the place is clean and very comfortable. No parking available right at the building but across the street.

Clean and comfortable place to stay, much nicer than anticipated. One surprise: the top slats of the room walls are offset (probably for airflow) which means that you hear every sound. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Not being able to open the window was a little frustrating but for the price I can’t complain too much. The place was clean, felt safe, there was reserved parking with our room and spacious bathrooms.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Simple and clean with a microwave to enable us to heat up leftovers in the glass bowls we brought along. Tableware suited us fine, including the hard plastic dishes and bowls - we just don’t put plastic in a microwave, (maybe some types are ok - we just avoid it). Mattress was a bit too soft to our liking, but it was ok. Not being tech-savvy and skittish about downloading another app so we could use our phones as our “room key,” we appreciated Joe’s helpfulness and the option to obtain a physical key card. We brought everything else we needed, as recommended.

All of the information provided by staff was accurate and helpful. I did have an issue with parking since another person was in my spot. Since I was required to park in my space, I was worried about being ticketed. I communicated with the staff via email and Expedia, but did not get a response. It was short notice and I was told that they would respond within 24 hours. The issue was that would not help me in that moment which is not anyone's fault. Just an oversight.

What a great find in Duluth! The bed was comfortable, the bathrooms were clean, the shower water was hot, and the kitchen area was appreciated. The staff were so kind and helpful! I enjoyed the bar, gift shop, and outdoors focused ambiance. The only downside was that I could hear my neighbors at times, but for the price and value it wasn't a big deal. I'll be back!

I liked the hostel setup. Private room, individual bathroom/showers. Not at all like a college dorm, for instance. But more interesting than a chain motel. Good restaurants as well as fast food and gas stations within a block’s walking. Sweet cozy cocktail bar downstairs.

Basecamp was great, clean, and easy to find. Within walking distance to restaurants and breweries. Went to the Bar that was downstairs. Very happy that there were NA options. The staff was super helpful. The only complaint that I had was the boards at the top of each wall in the rooms filter light through; I usually sleep in total darkness. The complaint my kid had was that you can really hear your neighbors. Otherwise, we loved it and will be back!

I thought the property was very nice, comfortable, and everyone was very nice! Truly, my only complaint is that you can hear EVERYTHING in the rooms, even from other guests down the hall. Most of the time, the noise level was okay, but there were some very inebriated and boisterous guests up all night during our stay who made it impossible to get any sleep. Other than the noise, the stay was great!

This is perfect for someone needing only a place to sleep! The room was decent sized. The living area was nice as well, no tv’s anywhere but there are games which I enjoyed. The rooms are connected up at the top so you WILL hear the person next to you snoring. However I put my white noise on my phone and fell asleep instantly. Ear plugs are provided as well. Super clean place, recommend checking out altitude!

The rate is very reasonable. But guest must download check-in/out appreciation, and smartphone is the only way to open the door. Also no hotel personnel in this property. Reasonable rate requires guest inconvenience. But cost performance is pretty good.
