Stayed for the weekend. Enjoyed the decor. Staff was friendly except for the security guard who insisted on shushing our laughing kids in the middle of the day - because halls have to be quiet all the time? Breakfast was so-so. Beds were definitely NOT as advertised. Old and most uncomfortable hotel beds ever.

People partying all hours of the night even though there's a 10pm quiet policy. Our hotel room was very dirty, dirty sheets, bathroom, shower. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff in the kitchen were very helpful and welcoming! Front desk service was also wonderful! Its location was the reason we booked but the cleanliness of the rooms was awful. We will go somewhere else next time.

Loved staying here for a quiet weekend away in February 2025. The rooms are good in size with freidge and coffee pot; clean linens, mirrors, etc. The breakfast is amazing and the pool was super relaxing but being so close to the shops and great food makes all the difference for us when in Duluth and we love the Inn.

Very nice visit, except for the annoying kids.

We had a great time, with a warm room, nice whirlpool tub, good shower and sauna. I also liked the breakfast. But the only major thing that bothered us was kids running around in the lobby after 10 pm, and neither the hotel staff nor the kids' parents were doing anything about it. This was extremely annoying. Also, I wish we had known in advance that you have to call to get a room with a whirlpool tub: they told us this only when we checked out.....they said it wasn't possible to do online (not sure why).

AWESOME!

Love staying here, the staff is always wonderful, it's clean and very comfortable. Best Hotel in Duluth. Been staying here for over 20 years and hope to be doing so for at least another 20. Excited to see the new renovations they are planning for the end of this year.

Weekend Family Getaway

Overall great experience. One area of improvement is breakfast, it is not great! Oatmeal was basically water, powdered eggs were not good at all and options were especially limited/difficult for folks with food sensitivities such as dairy.
