The Cantilever Hotel and Distillery in International Falls MN is a great hotel. Probably the most modern structure for miles.
The rooms are very modern, clean and well designed. Nice use of "era" decor and finishes. The beds are comfortable. I'd prefer a mix of sleeping pillows so a person could find one to their preference.
One thing I didn't find in any of the descriptions of the hotel was mention of the train tracks and trains. The hotel is less than 200 ft from the train tracks that run pass the hotel. A Canadian Northern outpost/office is located kitty corner from the hotel. Trains run pass the hotel day and night. Locomotives are warmed up regularly and often. The hotel does provide earplugs to guests. I was able to sleep through the noise but my wife really struggled. Sleepers be wary.
Cute coffee shop in the lobby with free drip coffee in the AM. Delicious baked goods in the cooler and a gift shop with any kind of distillery swag/alcohol you might need.
I'd stay again, perhaps with a white noise machine/fan and a shot or two of the local bourbon or gin before bed.
