"Staff didn’t really greet people. Never anyone at the desk when you arrive. Clean place for sure, and the rooms are large! Overall it was a good stay. No elevator, just two flights of stairs. . "

"This is great choice if you're looking for a convenient and affordable spot to stay in Duluth. It's clean and well maintained. The staff was great and it felt safe. While the location may not be "picturesque," that's not what I'm looking for in a motel. It is very close to all the places you are likely to want to visit, including the University of Minnesota-Duluth."

"The breakfast food was expired. I checked dates on the dairy products and all were expired by 4-5 days, the juice machine was broken, there was cereal and bagels. Room was clean. Staff was not exceptionally friendly. It’s a clean hotel that is lacking care."

"Shorthanded staff but still got everything done in a timely manner."

"Problem with ants. Unfortunately there were ants in the kitchen area and they got into one of Our bakery bags that we had on an upper shelf. It was full of carpenter ants when we woke up in the morning. Floors were pretty cold so I would strongly recommend bringing slippers or house shoes. The s’mores were a nice touch and being so immersed in the woods was special."

"The place was as advertised. Excellent view. Plenty of room to spread out and play. Clean. Fun for our kids and family. "

"The kids cove was a sweet surprise! Beautiful, clean space and was very comfortable for 3 adult couples and an infant."

"Only giving 4 stars because of 2 things.. First thing was the Jaccuzi area was the only part not updated and it was kind of sad to walk into that. They updated everything else except that area and I can only guess the tub has been there probably since the 90s.. Also the mattress was very hard, but my husband loved it! Everything else was amazing including breakfast. The room was clean and staff was pleasant. We even got fresh belgian waffles in the morning to perfect our little valentines staycation! Will be back again!"

"Cottage was very clean. Cozy and warm. It was snowing heavy when we arrived and Host was very accommodating and timely getting snow cleared out. Hot water, heat, bathroom nice and large. Pet friendly - my two Pomeranians were comfortable. Looking forward to a possible follow up visit in summer. "
