Lovely Harbor View

“I stayed in a second-floor panoramic view room with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The sparkling clean room also had a large comfy bed and ample towels. The highlight was definitely the view of the harbor, allowing me to sit on the patio and enjoy watching the ships pass by. It's the best experience for any ship watcher!” view full review

Relaxing Jacuzzi Experience

“Having a jacuzzi in the room was a fantastic way to unwind after a day of exploring. After walking around Duluth, I loved coming back to soak in the hot tub. The bathroom was spacious and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of my stay.” view full review

Comfy & Cozy Retreat

“I was thoroughly impressed with the room layout. The king-sized bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to fall asleep after long days of adventure. The extra pullout couch provided ample space for my family, and the lounge chairs in the living room added a cozy touch to relax while enjoying the view.” view full review

Good Breakfast Options

“I really enjoyed the grab-and-go breakfast that was offered. With local options like donuts from Johnson's bakery and unique items like wild rice/cranberry bread, there was something for everyone. The coffee was solid and refreshing to start the morning right!” view full review
