This 12 floor property only had one ice machine located on a smoking floor. They ran out of hot water for the shower one evening. True for the casino, which was very nice, but some floors were smoking floors and they stunk to high heaven. The sign up front advertised “ 100 % Smoke Free”. I was here two nights and they didn’t clean up our room so I had to call them. No fridge, no microwave, and the typical small shower tub combo you get at a Super 8 for half the cost. First off, at $140 a night I expected a nicer, bigger room. The restaurant was so good I am fine with overlooking the following criticisms.But if they fixed these the experience would be so much better.

The casino gives you $5 on the free players card so that’s a nice perk.

Most items on their high end steak menu were $30 to $35 and all their fancy appetizers were $10. We ate here two nights, the prime rib was fabulous and the crab crake appetizer was wonderful. Great food, incredibly reasonable prices, and fast and friendly service. The good: The Seven Fires Steakhouse was fabulous. Will do our best not to stay there again. They suggested places to go to in Dulth and Superior during down time. No way to get to the buffet without walking whether w were. When we went to the buffet for Sunday breakfast, my son and teammates were stopped by security because they couldn't be on the gaming floor. My son and a couple of teammates (several teammates and teams staying here this weekend due to high hotel rates in Duluth) went outside and were sitting outside and security made them go back in, if they were really staying there, because they weren't babysitters. I haven't been to a hotel that didn't have these in rooms in several years. We got to our room and found no fridge or microwave. When we made the reservation, we were told the pool should be reopened after COVID.

We were there for a family getaway and basketball tournament for my son.
