“Very pleasant, quiet and clean”
+The location was great! We walked across the bridge to Canal Park. We were close to the beach, that was disappointing because there was a bad smell, and there was some sort of organic material all over the place.
−I was having trouble with booking through Expedia and I called the front desk. The room on Expedia was not available, only significantly more expensive rooms. I finally got the booking through Expedia to work and got the room I wanted.

“Amazing hotel!”
+The rooms have a lot of windows with plenty of light! Everything in the room with furnishings is extremely nice. It’s very clean with a great patio and view. Breakfasts are very generous and they have cookies bakery fresh that are available for free in the afternoon. Parking is great and it’s an easy walk across the bridge and to stores and restaurants. They also have some available with lake views and fireplaces which we plan on getting next time. The value is totally worth it! The staff is so helpful with all needs.
−Loved everything!

+Staff was great. Room was clean. Hotel was pretty quiet.
−The room was small. No view. No pool or hot tub. Fire pit was near street with bridge blocking any view. We have never stayed here before and I thought for the price it would have been comparative to the boardwalk hotels. The price is comparative to Canal Park Lodge, but not nearly as nice.

“Great Hospitality”

“Love the setting!”
+First impression was how attentive the staff was to making everything the best it could possibly be. The property is beautiful and welcoming- lovely flowers and outdoor spaces to sit and enjoy the amazing setting. So nice to be near the water and the lift bridge that makes Duluth the special place that is is. The room was clean and very comfortable with a great view. Very walkable to many restaurants and other waterfront. Great history walk with the owner in the morning and a welcomed wake up call during the night to watch a ship move through the canal!
