Positive Reviews
positive:
Quaint and charming hotel grounds.
Guests enjoyed the older building and the rustic styling accents found throughout the hotel. People stated that the upstairs deck is a great place to relax at the end of the day and that the rooms were clean and comfortable.
positive:
Great location in central Duluth.
The inn's location in central Duluth was frequently cited as the high point of staying here. The hotel is a stone's throw from the lake as well as many great local restaurants and bars, and visitors whose rooms faced the lake appreciated the views over the water.
positive:
Good value for a popular vacation area.
The motel is one of the cheapest you will find in Duluth along the coast of Lake Superior, making it a great value for money in a very popular vacation spot.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Building is a bit tired and could use a facelift.
While many found the older building charming, a few age-related comfort issues in the rooms need addressing. Guests reported problems like old springy beds, noisy air conditioning units, fussy plumbing, dated TVs, and worn curtains.
negative:
Rooms are rather basic.
A number of reviewers felt that the room amenities were merely average and nothing really special. Others noted that the advertised pictures are not accurate and that the accommodations were not as nice-looking in reality.
negative:
Breakfast could be improved.
Although the hotel advertised a continental breakfast, visitors were disappointed to find that there was no suitable morning meal. The breakfast offered was said to consist of little more than coffee and a small selection of pastries.
