After about a week on the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA), part of our paddling team stayed here…read moreonce we finished and drove down to Duluth for the night. I always knew that this Hampton Inn was in Wisconsin, and chose it because it was the cheapest deal I could find at the time. And no, I'm not sure why Duluth hotel properties are so relatively expensive. We found the Hotel relatively easy to find, although the adjacent building/road construction made the directions (and turns) a little more challenging. Getting back into Duluth Minnesota (for Dinner later) was fairly easy and port/lake scenic. If there's a next time, I'll continue up the North Shore and make my stop more that a one night visit. The Hampton property reflects the modern refurbishments within the chain, which I found clean, comfortable and welcoming. Upon check-in, the most important tasks were: 1. Shower (!) 2. Change into Clean Clothes (Yes, the ride down from Ely was a little "ripe") 3. Separate and Pack Up the "Canoe Clothes" 4. Make Dinner Reservations (Grandma's) 5. Chat with Gayle again (the first call upon return from the Lake) I also got a good night sleep, enjoyed the free hot breakfast (and friendly staff) in the morning, and hung out with Bob/Bird and Jeff before we all went our separate ways.

This Inn sparkles with cleanliness! I notice details like baseboards, corners and shelves. Each railcar is decorated in a different theme. We stayed in the newly appointed Lighthouse Room. The lamps were shaped like lighthouses, the room was tastefully decorated with Lighthouse pictures and memorabilia, and the hallway that connects each railcar was built reminiscent of a rail yard and train station. When I called to make the reservation. I actually spoke with one of the owners. Cindy. She was personable and friendly. She is the epitome of a fantastic bed& breakfast-type Innkeeper. We met her at the Inn and she was funny and very welcoming. The food was good. They had your typical fare offered at most hotels. The only reason they didn't get a 5 star rating from me is I feel like they could develop a "trademark item" with their breakfast to go with the theme as well. The location is perfect for a quiet weekend or even a Northshore vacation. It's nestled in the wilderness and just a very short ride to Lake Superior. I highly recommend this Inn if you would like to relive some locomotive history!

It's just so much fun to stay here and bonus- you can watch local wildlife right from your window. Rooms were clean, and the managers offer a plethora of games and movies you can borrow- which is just fun! Be careful not to run in the halls though- it makes noise, and the managers will quell it immediately (which is a good thing, my kids just didn't realize it as I think we were the only ones staying there at the time.)

I arrived at the Super 8 hotel on 5/6/2025, having made a reservation online. Upon check-in, I…read moreencountered an uncomfortable situation where I felt that my race may have influenced the treatment I received. Specifically, I had an interaction with staff members that left me feeling unwelcome and singled out. From constantly asking "are you checking out early" to "give me the old towels" when asking for additional towels. After expressing my concerns in a review, I attempted to make another reservation at the same location. However, I was told via email by Mary Thoorsell. I could not book with them based on the review I had left, which feels retaliatory and further discriminatory. I am deeply upset that instead of addressing the issues I raised regarding staff behavior, the hotel chose to cancel my booking and not allow me to return. This feels like a direct violation of my rights as a paying guest, and I find it unacceptable. I said good and not so good things in my initial review but I'm assuming that honesty does not go a long way here. Constructive criticism is not allowed or you will not be able to book again.

The room was clean, comfortable and updated with a view out the back. We stayed in the connected rooms so it was like a motel but they also had separate cottages behind that to stay in. The family that runs it must live near one end where you can see piles of stuff all over. I admit that looked really bad so i was afraid of what the room would be like and my wife and I enjoyed our stay there. We would book another room there, no problem. It was also affordable. Enjoy the photos.

A note inside the suite asked us to simply leave the key in the place as we left. So easy. The suite includes one queen bed and a sleeper sofa, plus a kitchenette with two kinds of coffee makers and some coffee grounds available, plus all needed dishes. Even scissors to help open packages. Eileen thought of everything. My relative loved the extra shelf in the bathroom to set down her shower things, so unlike other hotels. The parking area was spacious. And even though there were residents in the other suite, we never heard them talking or any electronic device in the background, so the walls are thick. In addition, the Stardust is near to several restaurants, even within walking distance. Will definitely stay there again if we come to Floodwood.

Which, pardon my French, is complete bullsh*t. And no apology for the inconvenience, of course. Sadly, this is why we avoid mom & pop shoestring operations like this whenever possible, and stay instead in chain hotels (Marriott, Hilton, etc.) with proper on-line reservation and cancellation websites. Don't get me wrong. We'd love to support indie businesses. But when they have your credit card info, and threaten to charge you for one (or more!) night's stay for not timely cancelling, it's just not worth the hassle. We travel for fun, not to deal with slacker-generated grief. *** Please answer your mail! I've sent two messages through your online contact page asking you to cancel reservation ID 9293SS95, and to send me a confirming email. That shouldn't be too tough, yeah?
