My family and I stay here almost once a year because it is very spacious and you have great access to Bentleyville for Christmas and fireworks for the 4th. It is reasonably priced but it is quite loud and glad they did update the pull out couch mattress(at least in the recent room) as I’ve normally not gotten a great nights sleep. Have never had the breakfast since Duluth has too many great options in that realm to waste stomach space on hotel buffet stuff. The staff has been pretty nice and accommodating. I do recommend it for those on a budget. There is a chance you’ll have a room without a window so treat it as a place to rest. Given the size of the rooms and amenities it could be good for someone needing a long term stay.

Excellent stay. Worked perfect for us. We will use this hotel again. Pay attention. Dogs are allowed and they are all over this place. If that is a problem, don’t stay here. There are steps into the building but once inside no stairs.

Front desk staff are unprofessional and lacking in customer service. Our 1br “condo” looked like a rundown cheap hostel with mismatched, torn, stained, oddly placed furniture. The bathroom was weird and dark and the shower head wouldn’t stay at a proper height. The bedroom was fine minus the torn lamp shade and mismatched bulb colors that gave the room a dystopian feel. Everything about the room felt low-budget. The staff at the front desk were super rude when we needed keys repaired to our room when they lost their coding through an error on their end. We felt like an inconvenience for needing help with the desk attendant audibly sighing and rolling her eyes at us and complaining about having to reset the key. Super unprofessional. Our 8 yr old daughter picked up on the odd behavior and asked why that person was being so mean. The lobby is rundown and shabby. The only thing this place has going for it is location. Would be amazing if they could get it together and invest in the facility and paying to hire more professional staff.

There was an issue with our reservation not updating on their end through expedia and the front desk guy worked it out quickly and efficiently. I could tell that it was the last thing he wanted to deal with on Christmas day but he was so kind and got everything sorted out so quickly for us and got us into a great room without much of a wait at all.

Poorly managed property
When we arrived for our 2-night stay in a 2-bedroom suite, the beds were made, but rest of room had not been cleaned. Floors were dirty with old food on kitchen floor, old coffee still in pot (growing mold), fridge was dirty, and oven totally disgusting. The garbage can was filthy with splatters on the wall where it sat. One of the toilet seats was ready to come off, and tp almost out. Little to no shampoo, conditioner, soap in shower dispensers. Fireplace didn't work, and no remote to be found for the living room tv. Key cards were sketchy in all locations. Even the elevators and hallways were extremely dirty. Key cards were sketchy in all locations needed (room, elevator, and pool). We had six for our family and at one point all 6 quit working. We reported room issues to front desk, and they sent housekeeping in. Head of housekeeping very apologetic. Front desk assistant managers seemed rude and indifferent with never an apology. At one point one promised our rooms to be comped, but a different manager said no, they wouldn't do that. The first night they shut down the pool and hot tub at 9:30 with no explanation why. After being out in the cold that evening, we were looking forward to the advertised 'adult hour' at 10 pm. The attitude of the front desk personnel makes us believe that this is just the way it is all the time, that they hear these complaints all the time, and they are doing nothing to change it. We will never stay here again.
