Great spot for being downtown. Good lakeside view, clean room, comfy room and bed. A little noise from the highway along the lake but no big deal.

No local tv for weather or news which I found interesting since a source change with wall mount antenna would be an easy fix. Otherwise the location was perfect.

No complaints. Very easy and being able to check yourself in is convenient. Also the room was much nicer than a standard hotel room and it was at a better price

We travel to Duluth often and unfortunately will not be visiting this property again. Location is a plus, within walking distance to many attractions. Our room was very disappointing. First, it smelled, smoke and must. It was not clean: dust on the end tables, hair on tables and in the shower, slimy brown gobs on the shower curtain, and a random Bobby pin on the carpet. We also booked a room for 3 people: one adult and two kids. The room was a queen and a sofa bed. There were no sheets for the sofa bed. We tried messaging the property two different ways with no response. My son ended up sleeping with a provided blanket and pillow, on a leather couch. We won’t return or recommend.

The location was perfect, close to hospital for family health need. Walking distance to eats and shops. Clean, spacious room. Even with no front desk, we were checked in on each day and easy to contact. Great stay, would book again!?

Loved the room! Super comfortable, and the view of the lakefront was stunning. Room was clean, and welcoming. I love the ease of the access, to the room. Only suggestion for other travelers is to prebook your parking, as it can be limited in the area.

Not a great place for business travelers. The room was good but everything else was a hassle. Code to get in building was wrong. The code to get in the room was wrong. Parking is a hassle as well. While trying to pay for parking on a website that doesn’t work, I got messages saying my car was going to be towed. There are way better places to stay in Duluth that aren’t a hassle. I will say the lady I had to call over and over was very nice.

Had a nice spacious one bedroom suite with the Lakeview. It was nicely decorated and clean. There was an issue with the touchpad entering the building. It took several minutes just to get in the building. Other than that, everything was good.

It was a beautiful room. We didn't have a problem navigating the smart features. Getting in and out wasn't a problem. Parking was a bit of a trick as I am in a wheelchair. Again, we figured it out. We will definitely consider The Intrepid again. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

Location was ideal, parking was not as it’s extra per night. The unit was very clean except for some hair left on the shower wall. The main door to get in the building was sometimes a challenge to get the keypad to turn on. The view from the room was nice.

The room itself was very nice and clean. The location is quite ideal for a stay centered in downtown Duluth and nearby canal park. The elevator didn’t really work, so it was a one floor walk up. The second night there was one couple that had a difficult time getting into their room and they were very audible through our door. Later, an employee tried to access our room after we had gone to sleep and woke me up with the attempt. (I believe this was an honest mistake, but still disconcerting.) Even later in the evening still-and waking us up again-a couple had a very loud argument in their room that we were able to hear rather clearly. Most of this is outside of the hotel’s control, but it is still hard to give a higher rating given the experience.
