Love the Cotton Mansion

We've stayed at the Ctton Masion before in the Terrace Suite and enjoyed it so we wanted to check out another room. The equestrian suite is beautiful and very comfortable. Its the perfect spacious place for a couple to get away. We would definitely stay again.

It was nice for an antique mansion but if you’re looking for a place with many amenities, I wouldn’t stay here. The sliding door to the bathroom was kinda hard to open and close and the room never really got cold from the AC provided.

It was a lovely property but we used the hot tub in our room and it was disgusting! There was absolutely no staff on-site either. Then out our window there was a balcony type of thing with pieces of the building, gloves and tools. I get it is an old building but maybe just clean that up.

Beautiful property!

It was an amazing property! I gave comfort a 1 star because the bed was a hide a bed and it was sooooo uncomfortable!!!! I have back problems so it definitely did not feel good. You could feel the bars and springs underneath. We stayed in the speakeasy room. Otherwise the room was amazing! Loved the decor and the bathroom was amazing!! Will definitely stay again!

Honeymoon Revisted

We stayed here for a quick anniversary trip; we honeymooned in Duluth (just a block away) almost 29 years ago. Despite the bad weather we had a lovely time, and especially the Terrance Suite at The Historic Cotton Mansion. We enjoyed the space the room offered, including the seating area, bar, and balcony. The light breakfast and coffee offering in downstairs was a nice surprise too.

MURPHY BED. DONT BOOK!

MURPHY BED, DO NOT BOOK!! Worst bed I have ever stayed on in a hotel or BnB. Our backs were toast after 2 nights! Floors were uneven and had large gaps in the hardwood. The bed had a negative incline toward your head, so while sleeping the blood would rush to your head, we slept upside down to avoid this. False advertising with the pictures showing a regular bed.

Too far from everything

The place is nice...but it's far from everything if you don't have a car you'll have to walk everywhere because transportation in Duluth is horrible. The breakfast was poor and very disappointed. There's no staff to answer questions, you have to call a phen number...also very disappointed
