Hot tub was not working (which happens and I understand). Lady working the counter throughout the evening had terrible people skills and was not helpful. When we got to the room neither shower had shampoo or body wash in the dispensers. One of the light bulbs in the lamp was broken with pieces swept into the drawer. When taking a shower the water was lukewarm at best. Breakfast was decent, but lacking options and not up to the quality I would expect for over 300 dollars a night. We love coming to Duluth, but will likely choose a different hotel next time.

Check in staff was great - she let us check in early. The room was okay. There was a large round pillar right next to the bed so you had to go around it to get to the bed. There was NO window in the room. I wish we had known there was no window when we booked. Bed was just okay. Room was dirty - popcorn, crumbs, and used tissue on the floor by the bed. Chocolate (I think) smashed into carpet on other side of bed. Bathroom was dirty with hair (NOT ours) on the toilet.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, the suites are spacious and worked well for our family. The views from the room were great and the access to restaurants and activities was the best it could be. At check-in staff were polite except for one. The door to the suite did not close/lock properly. The furniture was a little beat-up looking and they didn’t clean the room between nights or stock enough toilet paper. Dial soap is super cheap and would have expected a better quality to have provided.

Do not stay here, pick something else.

This was a FAIL from check-in to check-out. First off, I couldn't check in without my husband present (no other hotels.com reservation has this EVER been an issue). Secondly, no notice provided that the entire pool area was closed, with no anticipated opening. The next morning we heard other families talking they were promised it would open that morning, and nothing had moved within the area (cleaners, tools, etc. scattered about). The internal rooms are awful, noisy, stuffy. The hallways had garbage scattered throughout. The breakfast was terrible, dirty, not stocked, and workers were in a bad mood. Never again!

They do not clean unless asked, which was fine for us. If you are looking for 5 star, pick a different hotel. We would definitely stay here again.
