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.
