This property is located in the lovely Canal Park neighborhood of Duluth, MN. There were carriage rides available on the south end of the property. The pool was clean (a little heavy on the chlorine) and safe. There was a lot of walking area surrounding the property and a beach less than a block away.

We’ve stayed there before, but this time was not as good an experience. The room was much smaller and with less amenities as the room (by the same name/description) that we stayed in previously. The breakfast area was so over-crowded we had to take food back to our (tiny) room, our room was incredibly noisy from the adjacent common areas, and staff barely said a word to folks.

Spent the night in Duluth to attend a concert at Bayfront Park. Hotel was easy walking distance to the venue. Hotel and room were very clean. Big porch was inviting and right on the Lakewalk. Watched a couple of lakers leave the harbor from our room.

Growing up in Duluth, I took Lake Superior for granted. Now that I live away, being able to see the lake from my room was an awesome experience. I know I will stay here from now on when I visit Duluth. I will probably choose a room lakeside with a balcony.
