I have Platinum status and had requested to use one of my suite nights for an upgrade. With status they will also upgrade you if a room is available. Neither had happened when I checked in despite lots of upgrade rooms being available. When I asked at check in the desk clerk did upgrade us to a slight harbor view. This is the third hotel in a row where I haven't been upgraded when a hotel has plenty of upgrade rooms available. The room had mold in the shower. The rest of the room was clean. Kudos to the desk clerk who obtained extra pillows for us as I needed them for an arm injury. Breakfast was very basic. Free parking and it was well lit.

Did a little weekend getaway to Duluth and found this place. It is located on the beach side of the…read morelift bridge and is walking distance from the beach and (over the bridge) from a lot of the town attractions. In a short, sub 10-minute walk from the hotel, you are in the thick of restaurants and bars. We also enjoyed the small hotel pool. Yes, the beach is across the street but it was nice to jump in the water and let the kids burn some energy. The room was nice enough. It is not a fancy place, but it seems pretty new, so everything was in great working order. Bed was comfy and the shower was hot. They also had a free breakfast and plenty of parking, too.

Overall, I really enjoyed this stay! You can't beat the location for the price. We stayed in Room 2…read moreand it was a way nicer than I expected based on the pictures. The main building also looks a lot less creepy than the photos (lol) but here's what you NEED to know if you're going to stay here: Parking is so, so convenient. We're talking 1 free pass right in front of the building with (paid) parking literally everywhere else if you're bringing a second vehicle. Location is 5 stars!!! Very walkable!! We walked up Superior Street to Duluth Trading Co, a very cute shop called Hucklebeary, Fitgers, and Portland Malt Shoppe, then all the way back to the inn. And do not miss Duluth's Best Bread!! It's so easy to venture around Canal Park and even the aquarium is walking distance (use the Slip bridge just past Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory). I loved the layout of the room. The bed and pillows were so comfy, and there was a cute bar seating set-up looking out the windows - although could be awkward if people are on the patio. There's a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker with a pitcher-thing of water. You get two BOGO beer coupons from Fitgers as well, which is a fun treat. The only downside is that it's the last hotel/inn on the hotel row, right behind a public beach and lakefront walk, with a public bathroom adjacent to it in a small "park" (grassy area). This meant that unfortunately yes, the other reviews are true and there are some skeezy looking people specifically loitering in the bathroom area. My boyfriend and I sat on the front patio for breakfast, walked the lakefront walk during the day and evening, but felt that sticking to the inner road (Canal Park Drive) at night was best as a precaution. We kept the blinds closed in the room whenever we weren't there but never felt unsafe in the first floor room. Like any other city, just be aware of your surroundings especially at night and you'll be fine! There is a sauna (we didn't use it because it's outdoors on the side patio and just felt weird), cornhole, and a small fire pit with chairs looking out towards Superior. The building is old, so we heard our neighbors walking and talking upstairs. With the tv on it wasn't bad, plus the inn has "quiet hours" 10pm-8am that everyone surrounding us followed. You do have to be pretty self-sufficient to stay here. Everything is key code access, no physical keys or cards. There aren't staff or front desk or even common areas (besides the outdoor fun spaces) on-site so if you need help you have to call/text them between 8am-8pm. Our a/c didn't work the first night (and the windows don't open), and when I texted about the issue the following morning the issue was quickly taken up and solved within a few hours by the manager on duty. Thanks Kristin!! If it wasn't for the sweltering hot first night and the sketchy park people, definitely would have given this stay 5 stars!!

Great nights sleep, and a great pool that opened early enough to truly enjoy it and the rest of our day! We had an AC problem and within a very short amount of time all was taken care of and the remaining time was cool and cozy! The staff was really responsive, friendly and got the job done. The hotel is close to a great walkway around the Duluth harbor. Easy to walk or bike, with so much to see and enjoy! Park area and great shops and restaurants too. Lots of beautiful "old downtown" with gorgeous architecture. The hotel had great access to Duluth downtown walkways that makes all year moving around easy and safe. We were able to easily walk to the space where our cruise ship was docked, drop off our bags early, and come back to enjoy shops and businesses in downtown. Lots to see and do!

General - I stayed here for a night for work while in the Duluth area…read more Location - You are right on the hill in downtown Duluth within walking distance to Canal Park and downtown's offerings. Parking is included in your stay and is found through a garage on the first floors of the hotel. So if you are staying during an popular event, this might help with parking woes. Rooms & Building - This hotel is a tower so you can get some really great views of the Lake Superior and the harbor or just downtown. Rooms are fairly spacious and include a fridge and microwave. Amenities - Crazy enough for the size of the hotel, there are two pool areas which is nice. I was staying during the week so had no issue finding a cozy spot all to myself in the hot tub on the 8th floor after work. Food - I did not eat or drink here during my stay. Breakfast is not included in your stay (boo) but there is a restaurant onsite that does offer breakfast. I was lucky that they had coffee in the lobby at least. Vibe - Easy going and super friendly staff. No complaints. Reality vs. Online - Pictures that I saw on their website and online matched the quality and condition of the hotel and rooms in-person. No surprises. Price & Final Verdict - If you want to be right in the heart of Duluth and not have to haggle over parking, this location is just right for you. Parking is included which is nice since they could easily charge for being downtown. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again if the price was right!
