Nostalgic stay next to easy nature trail

Loved the nostalgic setting with sufficient updates for modern convenience and comfort. Having the nature trail just outside the door was also wonderful. I was even able to easily extend my stay on short notice.

The rooms at this property were clean and reasonably spacious for the price. They are a little bit older. They have older traditional keys not electronic keys. The shower was as small as I have ever seen in a hotel room. I did appreciate that there was an apartment size fridge and freezer a bed and a futon in the room.

Was a bit leery when I pulled up but the room was charming. Nicely updated, very clean with lots of extras like full size fridge and coffeemaker, micro and huge fluffy towels. Comfy bed and nice recliner with an outdoor seating/bbq area as well. Great location with bike and hiking trails right behind the building.

I had a few last minute changes to make regarding my payment method and the staff was very helpful. The room wasn’t fancy and for a multi-night stay I would have upgraded the room. That being said as I was only staying one night it was a clean and comfortable place to sleep.

Great place for the price! Clean, appreciated the mini fridge/freezer, cute back patio with fire pits and grill area. Right next to trails and the old railcar came by. Not far from Duluth canal park at all! We were getting in late so we checked in over the phone. We checked out early so just dropped the key in after hours box. Did not utilize staff or breakfast so can't comment on that.

Hidden Gem

Great stay! Hidden little gem. It’s a 5-10 drive from the busier parts of town. There’s a porch and fire pits in the back to relax after a days of adventures. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. The property owner was great too. Will definitely stay here again.

I was pleasantly surprised of the overall condition of the Hotel, for the price. I think we paid just over $100.00 per night. It was more than I expected. The bathroom window was so clean more than once I thought it was open. The bed was very comfortable and the wood deck outside was a good touch.
