By far one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The view from the Jacuzzi suite room is breathtaking and canal park is right across the bridge.

You can't get a better location if you are a ship nerd, or just like to be near the water. Great views, convenient location for the Canal Park area, and pleasant, attentive staff.

Everything was perfect besides our shower. It had a leak so we couldn’t get it to stop dripping but other than that, it was a perfect stay.

The executive suite is larger than expected. Room is exactly as pictured except there's more room to move around. First floor has a separated balcony space right off the living room which was not expected. The only downside was being next to the staircase to the 2nd floor rooms. Thankfully it's only 2 rooms per staircase so you only heard them running up and down stairs a few times a day, and you can hear every step they take in the room above you. Again, very grateful it was only a couple of adults and not small children running all day. Eventually we just blocked out the noise of them walking since we couldn't hear anything else. No Tv's or conversations above or next too. Very clean and quiet other than the walking, quiet neighborhood, very personable and helpful staff when we checked in. New the area and was able to recommend restaurants in duluth and superior areas.
