Certainly not one of the better places in Duluth. Breakfast is dismal. Rooms are small. Staff can be unfriendly and dismissive, but not all. One of those hotels that was "slipped" into a sliver of land. The non-lakeside looks like a seedy drive up motel. Plenty of better places to stay in Duluth., Best thing about this place i bniat-watching.,

Sitting outside, both on harbor side and lake side, was so enjoyable. Lake side fire pit was appreciated, even on an August evening. Only one comment. The hot tub was likely not used recently prior to our visit. The next morning there was a grime ring. Minor issue, and easily resolved, but something to keep in mind. We had a wonderful visit.

Cool place to stay!
Location, Location, Location! If you want to be close to the action, this is the place. We got to see a couple of ships pass under the Lift Bridge going in/out of the canal between Duluth Harbor and Lake Superior. Many cool restaurants, brewpubs, and dessert places just on the other side of the bridge which is a 2-3 walk from the Inn. This is the place to stay when visiting Duluth.

We love being at the base of the lift bridge right next to the freighters as they come by. The Adirondack chairs out front and little fire make a great cozy place to sit and watch the boat traffic.
