Nice place

Very clean modern space. Plenty of room for 4 adults. Not much in immediate walking distance, everything downhill so it's a walk uphill to get back from Canal Park or downtown area. We drove everywhere, it was pretty easy. Parking was great, underground parking spot was a bonus.

Convenient location

Enjoyable Stay!

This property is very comfortable and clean! It offered everything we needed. The description noted that the unit was on the second floor which was fine, but it is not for anyone who is slightly handicapped as there are quite a few steps. We loved the view of the clock tower and Lake Superior from the front deck! Thanks for everything!

I wish they had an earlier check in time. Since we were staying for a couple of days we had groceries that had to be kept cold and a cooler only stays cold for so long. And we were traveling from Minneapolis, so we had to time our arrival to check in. You could ask for an earlier check in but was not guaranteed. The early check out was also not ideal but you could ask for a later check out for a fee, but it was not guaranteed. I thought I had already paid enough for the stay, so we planned on being out by 10:00 am. I would say this location is good for being close to DT attractions and dining options. However, the streets around the condo carry a lot of traffic. There is a hospital down the street, so we heard multiple sirens going by. The balcony was nice but you cannot see the view sitting in the chairs provided as they are too low to the ground and you cannot see through the railing. Unfortunately upon arrival we found the bathtub was not clean, nor were the floors. We did notify someone but they basically just apologized and did not seem overly concerned and so I said we were going to clean up the mess ourselves. We had a 16 month old child with who had some toys that usually end up on the floor at some point. My expectation was for floors and bathtub to be clean, which they were not. I also provided a picture of what was swept up in my room as proof. Once again just an apology. Kitchen was well equipped. We used the stove, toaster, coffee maker, dishwasher.

Kristie - Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how important flexible check-in and check-out times can be, especially when traveling with groceries and a little one. While we do our best to accommodate requests for early or late check-out, we will guarantee IF we approve it. We cannot always approve such requests due to our heavy cleaning schedule in the summer months. We appreciate your feedback about the noise from nearby traffic and sirens; These apartments are very close to Duluth's down town area. This is a big reason guests book here. It's close to EVERYTHING, and with that you will hear the normal happenings of the area. I sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you encountered upon arrival—this is not the standard we hold ourselves to and no apology or excuse will make up for it. Our cleaning crew was over booked that day and we didn't have a person to spare at the time. Regardless, we are addressing it with our cleaning team to prevent future occurrences and to have it done right the first time. It’s good to hear the kitchen met your needs, and we hope you’ll consider staying with us again so we can provide a more seamless experience.
