Guest Reviews
- Angela (6/5): - This was pretty clean but there was no body wash, shampoo or conditioner in the containers in the shower-super disappointing. Also-only 1 bar of soap is not considerate either. There is no on site parking either. Have to find it on the street or pay a nearby ramp.
- Haley (10/5): - We were very impressed during our stay! The hotel was immaculately clean, beds were comfy, and staff was kind and attentive.
- Jeffrey (8/5): - Everything was great once we figured out where the hotel was. Obviously, we had the address, but there was limited exterior signage and no loading/unloading zone or parking area. We ended up circling the block before realizing where the main entrance was. Other than that, the hotel room itself was great for our 2 night stay in Duluth. Would stay again no concerns.
- kimia (6/5): - The sheets had big stain on them unfortunately I just took a picture of one stain before I went to bed and when I woke up in the morning with better lighting I then realized that the whole sheet had stains all over! Also no parking and no breakfast (not even complimentary coffee) was available so we had to park outside which was a block away and we paid $10. Overall really overpriced for what is offers! Super disappointed!
- barbara (10/5): - Parking is a bit expensive unless you don’t mind walking a bit. Otherwise is great!!!
- james (10/5): - Modern, clean, well equipped facility
- Dalia (8/5): - hotel was great - rooms are large and clean! Parking was a problem - they offered paid parking but it was a half block away from the hotel and I felt unsafe at night parking the car and walking to the hotel - We were chased one night by someone!!
- Sara Mittelsteadt (6/5): - Parking and where to park for check in is terrible.
- Jone (10/5): - Nice, polite staff. Very clean and quiet. They would benefit from having a big hotel sign on the Michigan side so drivers can see clearly from the street or on the facade of the building above the front entrance. Wish the car parking situation was clearly described online. Parking is available across the street or a few blocks away in the convention center, but it’s not free of charge for hotel guests. In the other words, the hotel does not have a parking garage; there is parking near by and it’s not free.
- Brenda (8/5): - Clean room, helpful staff. Parking was really the only drawback because the elevator at the civic ramp was not working and the stairway doors were locked.
- Jennafer (8/5): - Our rooms microwave randomly kept turning on and off the stove fan, and periodically pressing buttons. Had to unplug microwave in order to sleep. Shower did not have any body wash in the container. Otherwise enjoyed our stay!
- Brenda (10/5): - Excellent location. Walking distance to aquarium and The Depot.
- Carla (8/5): - Nice city view and quiet. Employee Benjamin, great help.
- Nicole (8/5): - Clean rooms, updates in an older area
- Tesfa (10/5): - Clean room
- Adam (10/5): - Great place! Nicely done.
- Jessica (8/5): - Clean room and very spacious.
- Janice (10/5): Nice hotel - The hotel is new so very clean and had all the items you would need. The room was spacious and quiet. Parking is a couple blocks away but it worked out. It is a drive to canal park but walking to restaurants and bars.
- Leslie (10/5): - Great, no problems, great view of the lift bridge.
- Heidi (10/5): - Clean, spacious, quiet room. Gracious front desk employee. Walkable to canal and downtown. Great views. Would return and recommend to others.
- Dana (10/5): - Force on 5th review
- Jennifer (10/5): - Friendly, informative and very efficient
- Kolbey (10/5): Hotel Stay- 5 star hotel - It's was a great stay beautiful clean, new, nice place. Great service! Very nice room and clean place. If you are gunna bring an animal it's not ideal area for walking your dog around. Dogs also do not stay for free there's a small fee. The Parking is not on site. You have to pay for parking at the Civic center and it's an easy walk from there. Over all great hotel and stay in the city.
- Abigail (4/5): - We were upset to find the room was not ready at the promised time, that there was no bedding for the pullout bed.
- Cheryl (10/5): - Staff was very friendly. Nd helpful. The room is extremely nice. Very comfortable beds and linens. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable.
- Michelle (10/5): - It was a great hotel. Updated and large rooms.
- Stacy (2/5): - They are not handicapped friendly
- joshua (10/5): - Parking ramp was not too close to property.
- Joy (10/5): Lovely new hotel - This hotel is brand new and pristine. I would definitely stay here again.
- Hailey (10/5): - Was running late after a 14h shift and the front desk stayed for another 45 min past desk close to check me in which i am eternally greatful for, as i went for a walk around the block after i got checked in, so about midnight, and was barked at by someone on the street soi guess he aware at night but the hotel itself was beautiful the room was luxurious beautiful views from the windows anf would highly recommend.
- Yaddiel (10/5): - Full kitchen was fully equipped everything you would need to coock and serve dinner for four diahes and cutlery even a dishwasher i was impressed
- Barb (10/5): Awesome Views from Top Floor Suite! - We stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bath suite on top floor. Had an incredible view of lake, lift bridge etc kiddy corner from historic depot so we could easily walk across street to board our dinner train. Room had state of the art amenities (Inc 3 TV's), very comfortable beds, beautiful glass door showers, total of 12 windows with awesome views, quiet. Would definitely stay again!
- Sandra (6/5): - The hotel itself was great. Spacious rooms and bathrooms. The view is nice when its not foggy. However the parking situation was not good at all. I understand its downtown with no parking lot but when you have to walk two blocks to a parking garage at night. No thanks. And if you forget something in your car theres no going back. Also the traffic is noisy on 5th avenue.
- Micah (10/5): - My wife and I often come up to Duluth for the weekend from Minneapolis. If you're aware of the seasonal prices around Duluth this time of year (summer/tourist season), you know how expensive it can be to stay there. Anyway, we decided to give Force on 5th a try because it was coming up as one of the least expensive places to stay on the weekend we were there. We were pleasantly surprised with the place. It looks like it's a newly renovated building. Our room was nice. Everything was new, the bed was comfortable, and it had a great view. Maybe the only drawback about this place (which is barely a drawback), is that they do not have their own dedicated parking. We ended up parking across the street at the city parking garage, which was must less expensive than many places we've stayed, but we did not have in and out privilege's. Otherwise, we were told we could also park in the civic center parking garage for $10 per night with in and our privileges. Overall, it is a great place to stay and the drawback (e.g., parking) is minimal. I think we will be staying here when we visiti Duluth going forward.
- Mariah (10/5): Most Beautiful Room - Beautiful Rooms. It is new so I think they are still working out things like car parking and coffee etc.. But it is the nicest hotel room I have ever stayed in.
- Sadie (8/5): 👌 - we only stayed for 2 nights, besides the bed feeling a bit stiff for us, the stay was quite lovely. will have to try again in the future with a longer vacation
- Susanna (4/5): - Bed was terrible, pillows were great, no amenities in room , should have a happy hour or free breakfast, something, so sterile.
- Bonita (6/5): Hard to find and way over priced. - The hotel entrance is almost impossible to find. Finally I called the receptionist at the hotel, and she explained that there isn't any type of "overhang" to load and unload luggage. I was told to park in the "loading zone on the street. There is NO hotel parking, I was told I could park in the Civic center lot (which dumps you into a back alley with dumpsters etc). Then walk down to the hotel. No pop machines. Snack "bar" is a box of candy & chips next to the front desk. The suite was nice but VERY echoey. I think it needs a few more area rugs to dampen the noise. No handicap access to get in through the front door. At these prices The Force is going have step up its game. It's cheaper and far more convenient to stay in Canal Park. Which is where I will stay on my next trip to Duluth.
- Carrie (8/5): Nice room with a few problems - Overnight to visit daughter at college. 3 issues re this stay. Room 604. Our thermostat was locked so I had to freeze at 68 degrees all night. Water pressure in our room was terribly low and TV was supposed to be a Smart TV but this was not hooked up or working.
- Tim (10/5): Force is great - Great room. Large modern stylish and beautifully maintained- lovely view Would definitely book again- no question
- Victoria (8/5): - Beautiful place to stay but the parking was difficult
- Ed (8/5): - Great renovated rooms. Parked on the street for free for the weekend. Not great sound proofing. Perfect for long term stays
- Verified traveler (8/5): Force at 5th in duluth - Fantastic suite. Loading and unloading difficult since there is no parking right at hotel. City parking is 1/2 block away
- Alexander (10/5): - One of the best suites I've been in Duluth
- Roxana (10/5): - Everything was perfect 👌
- Kevin (10/5): - The water pressure in the shower was poor. Otherwise, we liked the hotel. Would be nice for extended stay.
- Palaniandy (10/5): - Parking is not available for the property. We have to park in public parking area.
- Karmen (10/5): - It was a very unique property with charm. Would definitely stay again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful stay! - This place was amazing! Clean, friendly staff, great location, and affordable. Loved that it had a kitchen with essential supplies. The only thing it lacked was parking. You have to pay to park either in their lot which is a block away or in the other public parking lot across the street. It was worth it though. We had a really great experience and would definitely stay again.
- Jonathan (10/5): Amazing place (2 bedroom suite) - This place is wonderful and for the price and size of the room you cannot beat the sort of luxury. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back.
- Johanna (10/5): - Beautiful rooms, comfortable bed. Love the view
- Sandra (6/5): Good but needs to iron out a few things. - The site I booked with had stated that at this hotel pets stayed free, however upon check-in I was informed that there is a fee and that they do not honor what is stated on sites like hotels.com, Expedia, etc. Also there were no outside garbage receptacles for pet waste. They need to provide a disposal for pet waste if they are to be pet friendly. The room was fantastic but there were no separate waste bins for recycling, which I found odd as Duluth is usually very eco friendly.
- Carissa (10/5): First time in Duluth! - What’s great, easy and super dog friendly experience. It was super clean, easy to manage and the suite itself was just as pictured. We found great coffee at the studio a few blocks away, the front desk was super friendly and the rooms were comfortable. Parking is paid but it is very reasonable, accessible and easy to navigate. Would stay here again!
- Shannon (6/5): - The hotels proximity to restaurants and bars was great. Several are within a short ten minute walk. The streets and area around the hotel seem clean and quite safe. Force partners with the Ci
- James (2/5): - Where do I start! I came to this property to check i at 1pn and I understood that my check in was not available until 3pm. We drcided to go have lunch. We returned ar 3pm. The lady gave me our room keys and I went to get my dogs to settle in. Upon re entering the hotel the front assistant told me that my room wastnt ready i asked her how long would it take and she said 30 minutes. An hour passed with my 2 dogs and all of us tired and filled with anxiety I asked what was happening. She mentioned that they were "putting the last finishing touches" to our room. All while, the cleaning staff was complaining to the front desk. Finally we were told that our room had changed and they allowed us to check in 2 hours after. This story gets worse....
- Jennie (10/5): - It’s a 10 minute walk from the Canal if you cut across the boat area. Easy to walk to everything, and an absolutely beautiful hotel with gorgeous views! I don’t actually expect it to look like the picture when we checked in, because it’s so affordable but it was exactly what it showed and more! Full set of dishes and utensils. Beautiful room, full kitchen, everything is completely remodeled! Was stunning and wonderful!
- Rebecca (10/5): - Was a little scary outside. Drug addicts and riff raff by the hotel. Otherwise it was an excellent experience at this hotel. Nice and clean amazing room features. Will definitely come back
- Ross (10/5): - Large feel. Tons of windows. The blinds make it easy to sleep in.
- Michael (10/5): - Awesome place!
- stephen (8/5): - Liked the set up and the bed was very comfy
- Timothy (10/5): - Will stay here again!
- Douglas (10/5): - The building is beautifully remodeled. Full kitchen was equipped with all the necessities one could need. Staff was informative, welcoming, and helpful! Definitely staying here again whenever I'm in the area.
- Sarah (10/5): - We were excited to stay here after learning it was new to the area. We had a great experience with the staff, and enjoyed the space. Parking was available across the street, and the rooms were lovely.
- Ashley (6/5): - It was a very cool very clean, spacious room, and the stocked kitchen (plates, silverware, cookware etc.) was great. The location was very convenient and close to lots of restaurants, and activities. The views even from our city view room were gorgeous, I imagine the lakeview rooms were even more spectacular. The cons: a lot of little things that i would attribute to the fact that they very recently opened. There were basically zero amenities. No soap in the bathroom (except the shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower), no shelf or even hook in the shower to set a washcloth, razor or anything on, and no phone or any means of contacting the front desk from the room. The nightstands were a foot shorter than the bed and it would have been nice if the TV had streaming capabilities. There was also no parking but there was a public ramp right next door that costs $7 every entry. All this to say, I enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place but they still have some kinks to work out which i am sure they will!
- Cindy (10/5): - Beautiful units.
- Joel (10/5): - Amazing room. Super clean. Awesome!
- Rudolph (10/5): - Wondering expierence!!
- Nicholas (10/5): - A new hotel that is great for extended stays! Beautiful rooms, a gym, and right downtown!
- Julia (10/5): - The room was very nice and the hotel was very friendly. No restaurants in the area except other hotels, fortunately we had snacks with us.
- Stephen (10/5): - Had a great experience here. Rooms were nice and comfortable. The general manager was very accommodating and friendly. Would definitely stay again.
- Daniel (6/5): - No parking…had to pay 19.50 at a lot across the street (and the lot price was listed at 12.00!?). No amenities in hotel. Over priced.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - It’s a really great place
- R Michael (10/5): - Nice large room and great view. Outside neighborhood is a little rough.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Great new gem in Duluth! - I stayed here with my mom in the Superior Suite (1 Queen Bed with Sofa Bed, City View) and it was fantastic! The suite had two separate bedrooms (one with the queen, one with the sofa bed), two full bathrooms, and a spacious living area with a comfortable couch and a kitchen. Everything felt brand new and well thought-out. The Aveda toiletries were a nice luxury touch. The hotel itself just opened recently, and it shows in the fresh, modern feel of the space. We really enjoyed our room and would absolutely stay again for the accommodations alone. A couple of things to note: the location is downtown Duluth, so it’s not as touristy as Canal Park. There were more unhoused individuals in the area than you’d see near the lake, and there aren’t a ton of restaurants or shops immediately nearby (though we did grab pizza from the bowling alley close by, and it was great!). Also, parking wasn’t included—it was $24 for our one-night stay. Overall, the room itself was incredible and made for a really comfortable stay.
- Patricia (10/5): Beautiful rooms. Great location - Great concept of converting office space into a boutique hotel. Room was so spacious and great view. Kitchenette was fabulous! Aquarium close and bowling right across the street.
- Bryan (10/5): - Kitchenette was well equipped. Would be great for an extended stay.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - We found this place last minute due to overbooking where at another place. Turns out we were the second guests checking in to this new boutique hotel. Loved the location, kitchenette, and they’re pet friendly. Staff were very kind. This place was a great find and will do well!
