    I'm sure it's great if you are bringing kids here to use the water park (extra fees), but if not I think it's a little expensive and nothing special. The halls are kind of like walking in a maze and you'll likely need either the stairs or elevator a lot. Lobby is on the third floor. First floor feels like your in a cave with lousy cell phone service. The bed was comfortable and the room was surprisingly quiet for the size of the building. Except for water park pool and hot tub are outside. No complimentary breakfast either.

    Candy wrappers, dust, and old food behind the night stand

    Dirty sheets, Dirty curtains, Dirty picture frames, plugs that dont work, lifeguards who did nothing but watched rowdy kids almost run my kid over in the pool, cold water in the kids water area, broken water fountains in the kids water area, and the food place in the pool area being sneaky about leaving tips (saying cc charges can't be done with a tip). It's amazing how far the place has fallen since I started coming here yearly just back in 2013.

    Made a non-refundable reservation for a Wednesday night the beginning of May. Then I looked at the yelp reviews... Oops! But it actually turned out better than I thought after reading about everyone's terrible experiences. Upon arrival we were upgraded to a two room suite! Yay! The lake view from the window and balcony were great! The Bath & Body bathroom products were a surprise. Rooms were clean, beds comfy. Both rooms had TV's. Workout room overlooks the lake which is a bonus. Didn't try the restaurant or breakfast. The waterpark was quiet as it was a Wednesday night before school was out. No complaints. Lifeguard staff was still super vigilant. Not a fan of water park hotels, but this one did the trick for husbo and me. FYI our room was in the Tower. I have a feeling the terrible rooms might be in one of the other two sections.

    I enjoyed my time here! Booked a room in the Tiki suite, with 2 bunk beds, one pull out bed and a king size bed. I expected the room to look a bit more child-friendly, with cartoon characters or a theme. But it was pretty plain. Our view was great, we overlooked the pool area! The bathroom had a lot of icky grime in the shower which was pretty gross. I paid $420 for two nights, 8 wristbands included which was pretty great, but it just wasn't worth the money I spent for the rooms especially since I supposedly got a good discount on them. The staff were pretty nice and well informed on questions I had. I loved the pool area and the music that they played, and my children all had fun. Probably won't be spending a lot of money on a suite that wasn't so great, when I could get a small room for a cheaper price that would probably be in the same condition.

    This was what we saw...closer view...toenails!

    Disgusting! I cannot believe how much they charge for these rooms, yet how filthy they are! Toe nails! Yes TOE NAILS! Absolutely disgusting, and not just a few, but a pile of them! Manager was too busy (10:00 pm) to come and see. She offered to switch rooms (yet just a few hours earlier they were completely booked) so now my fireplace/jacuzzi room was to be switched to 2 queens. On top of the disgusting toe nails there was hair and soap scum in the jacuzzi (that did not produce hot water). What an absolute disappointment! When I asked the manager how something like this could happen she simply said house keeping must have missed it. So matter of factly like it must happen all the time. No apologies, nothing. I really did not want to switch to another room, it was late I was frustrated...I justed wanted them to vaccuum it up so we could go to bed. AN HOUR LATER THEY CAME TO VACCUUM! AN HOUR! I certainly won't be coming back here! Water park or no water park...I can only imagine what else was not cleaned in this room...YUCK!!

    Wrappers and food on our patio - just the beginning of all the  gross!

    I'm incredibly disappointed!! I booked this room before reading reviews and the room itself prompted me to come back and look if it was a problem for others. We paid $350 plus tax/fees $420. We were excited when we saw the outdoor pool, mini golf and basketball court. The water park area looked nice but was very hot and muggy. Then our room. Dirty, food ground into the carpet, our patio had empty chip wrappers, crackers, unidentifiable food all over. The hotel is very dated and for being way more expensive than others we have stayed at it is 10x worse!! Rooms are small, hot even with air at 61 and it's probably 70 degrees outside. Rooms are dark, walls and furniture totally beat up. Bathrooms are gross!!!! Hair on the floor, clearly not swept or vacuumed. I could go on but do not waster your money!!! We moved here for our last night of vacation and like I said I wanna cry. Or go home. Will never stay here again.

    My mom and I stayed here a few weeks back for a long weekend and it was pretty awful. Let me start by saying that we've been coming here for about 20 years now every Summer, and it's slowly been going down hill, but this time was the absolute worst, and if they don't change, we will not be returning. I'll start by saying that the girl at the front desk wasn't welcoming at all. Which is fine, I can get over that. Next, after getting into our room, we tried turning the on the TV and it didn't work. Kind of a bummer, but new batteries from the front desk did the trick. So far though, not exactly a great experience. Then comes the worst part- our room looked pretty disgusting. The carpet feels like it's been saturated with carpet cleaner without being rinsed, so you feel a film on your feet. The light switch for the bathroom was straight up nasty- caked in dirt. The side of the air conditioner where it meets the carpet was black with splatters and drips from who-knows-what, and the carpet was torn in that corner and filled with dust. Above the bathroom mirror were dried drips from some sort of liquid. Pictures of all this are included in this post. With that being said, however, the beds seemed clean, which we were thankful for. Outside of the hotel room are two chairs- great! However the sidewalk where you walk and sit was cracked with gouging holes- easily a tripping hazard. And the ceiling above the door was bubbled and cracked and looked gross (also in attached pictures). So yeah, not really a paradise of a place. One last thing- we went up to the bar to get drinks and wanted to play foosball, which we didn't end up playing because turns out we need to PAY to use the balls. As if they weren't getting enough of our money already. It's not a big deal, but just kind of the principle of the thing. Considering what they charge to stay here for the summer, it needs extreme repairs. It's gotten pretty dumpy. We'll spend the extra couple bucks and stay somewhere nicer next time because it's worth it. .....Just found out that they over charged us $70 too. It just keeps getting better, doesn't it?

    Carpet and wallpaper was torn. Drapes were stained and bathroom hadn't been entirely cleaned. Grime on the tiles in the shower, and something in the creases of the throne. Fridge froze all of our food overnight, and the toilet ran. We also had to go outside in the winter to get to and from the water park. No breakfast included, but a buffet that cost about 8 bucks per adult. If it would have been free it would have been okay, for an additional cost it isn't worth it. The food was subpar and all the cups for coffee were dirty. We lived in Duluth when EdgeWater was built and because of the price I always assumed it was a nice hotel, I was very disappointed with our first and last stay.

    The hotel is very outdated. The 2 bedroom suites are laid out really weird. The water park is decent for what it is.

    We are completely satisfied with our stay at the Oliver Inn. We knew when booking that some rooms…read morewere 'hostel' style and that the property was accessed with codes and such. Even after reading bad, outdated reviews, we decided to give it a go. So glad we did! Snively's lounge on the first floor is cute and pleasant. We enjoyed our 2 for 1 beer credits included with our room. This is a historical building, there will be noise. But, we weren't disrupted. The Rathskeller speakeasy down stairs is too cute. They weren't playing any jazz (which is common I guess) during our stay, which was fine by us. My hubby and I were celebrating our anniversary, and we loved our choices. Parking is simple enough, across the street in a secure ramp for $12 a day. If you read any reviews that there is a stinky Japanese restaurant on site.....that is outdated info. We stayed in room 3, two twin beds, lower level, shared bathrooms (2)....both have showers and we never encountered both being in use at once. Beds were comfy and the bedding was soft. We will definitely be back. Personally, I like no windows; I prefer to sleep in a cave. Lol. The elevator was a nice surprise. I need my knees replaced; stairs are not my friend. Lol.

The boutique feel really came through -- the room was well-appointed, clean, and had thoughtful touches that made it feel more personal than a chain hotel. While there wasn't staff onsite, they were easy to reach by phone if needed, which worked fine during my stay. One thing to note is the location. While it was convenient to some attractions during the day, the surrounding area didn't feel the safest in the evening. If you're looking for a cozy, comfortable stay and don't mind limited in-person staffing, this hotel is a nice choice.

    The Greysolon Ballroom is a stunning location in the heart of Duluth. From what I understand, it…read moreused to be a hotel but was repurposed as a community center and a ballroom. You walk in and you're struck with a bit of awe and the grandeur and old design of the place, it truly is beautiful. But, as it's such an old building , there are flaws. If you want to get to the ballroom, you have to use the elevator. This thing is SLOW. And there are no stairs that will take you directly up to the ballroom, they were closed off (not sure why). And not only is the elevator slow but it mainly alternated between the lobby and main level that houses the community center so good luck getting to the ballroom in less than 5 minutes. But, once you finally arrive the place is very nice. They have a cute little coat check and everything was set up in advance of the event we hosted. We also asked for an additional table for name tags and they obliged immediately. The drinks here are STRONG but you won't see me complaining. They even had some winter seasonal cocktails you could order that sounded nice. The sit down dinner began with a salad, which was fine, and then we were released by table to go to the buffet (which isn't a buffet because you can't go back, but is served buffet style). The food was amazing. I was extremely stuffed and then they passed out the dessert. The cake was more like a thick fudge but was also very good. The acoustics in the room, when many people are talking at once, are not great. It's hard to hear and equally as hard to get people to be quiet. Because of this and the terrible elevators, I was tempted to give 3 stars but honestly, the food and service is just that good. They were willing to cater to whatever we needed.

    We just got married here last weekend and it was amazing. The staff was fantastic. Any issue we…read morecould have had they fixed it. They even continually checked in on guests.

I can speak and offer opinions with particularity and knowledge about hospitality. Unfortunately, lately, service and attention to detail have declined significantly. Perhaps due to cutting corners and not giving travelers what they deserve. Remember, people look for that little corner that somehow makes them feel close to home. I was very surprised and delighted to find this place. I didn't expect such personalized, friendly, and professional service. When I checked into the condo, I was pleasantly surprised. Large, comfortable, well-appointed, and with very tasteful details in the decor. Very well thought out. The privacy of the unit (305B) is excellent. The kitchenware and utensils are of very high quality. But the most important thing is the cleanliness and hygiene. A very rare bird, or Rara Avis, to find. I hope they continue like this. Especially with the bedding and towels. I wish them the best. Just one detail. They should have at least one unit with a shower for disabled guests, not for me, but for other people. Thank you.
