    It would have be nice to stay near other people in our dance group. Front desk staff was not at all accommodating to this.

    Breakfast was great! Pool facilities are basic and the pool chairs are old and uncomfortable .

    The hotel was lovely, with fantastic views. However, the room felt a bit small for our family with all our luggage. It’s manageable but something to consider if you have a lot of bags.

    I had a wonderful stay! The location offered stunning views, and the breakfast was delicious and varied. The staff was helpful and friendly. I highly recommend the view, breakfast, and service!

    The coffee maker was too complicated. I couldn’t get it to work for just hot water for tea. Not everyone drinks coffee.

    Prime location beside the lift bridge and close to restaurants and activities. The pool and two or tins were great after a long day. The windows that could open in the room was great for some fresh spring air.

    A couple of our towels seemed to be dirty.

    I liked that it was close to the water, and within walking distance to all the shops nearby. The pool and hot tub were clean. The breakfast was really good.

    There was one thing that really bothered me, which I can't really blame the hotel. Our neighbors returned from bar closing and were very loud and disruptive at 1:30 am. I could hear them laughing and talking, slamming doors for 45 minutes until the early morning. I wish the walls were thicker. That's my only complaint but it's not the hotel or management fault, but the neighbors who were disruptive.

    We came up to Duluth on a whim and booked this hotel for the kiddos and the hubby. We upgraded to a balcony with Lakeview of Superior. The lighthouses were right outside our windows, it was beautiful. You get plenty of free parking and you are located right in the near Park of on the canal. It's a well maintained hotel and very clean, updated. They also provided large complementary shampoo/conditioner/shower gel for guests. The pool was small but was not really crowded. There are two hot tubs available in pool area with pool towels for use. Breakfast was the typical hot foods: eggs, bacon, pancake, and cereal variety. Beds were comfortable and linens were clean. We needed an extra flat sheet for the pull out bed but they gave us a whole set of bedding. We initially booked two nights but wanted to stay longer when it was time to leave. Until next time.....

    The woman at the reception was really rude. Only when I protested after being told I should carry my heavy suitcase up the stairs did she point us towards the working elevator (the main one was under maintenance). It's not even any extra effort to just tell people that there's a working elevator down the hall.

    Beautiful location right at the shore of Lake Superior. Most of the staff was really helpful. Gluten-free breakfast for my company worked out well.
