This was a great location and clean. I didn’t give a 5 star as their pool desperately needs an upgrade and the walls were quite thin. We were kept awake until 1am listening to our neighbors footsteps.

You can’t beat this location with the bridge right outside your door. It is very walkable. Clean rooms and common spaces. Breakfast was above average for this type of hotel. It’s a great option for a tourist in Duluth. I had to resist the urge to rate lower because we had a very unpleasant experience with them before we even checked it. The morning before we left, I called to book a roll away crib. I was told our reservation wasn’t in their system. They said all they had left for us was a basic king bed room, not the suite we booked and that we would have to change rooms mid stay to a basic queen room. I dealt with multiple staff members on two different shifts saying the same thing. After spending all day refreshing for last minute cancellations, I was able to book the suite I originally wanted but for $400 more. When I called to confirm that reservation, they said I had 2 of those suites booked. So, my original reservation wasn’t lost, it was in their system all along. This experience ruined my day before we left, forcing me to waste hours calling hotels and looking online for any Canal Park options that fit our needs as a family traveling with 2 under 2. They didn’t offer us any compensation for the trouble and even tried to make us pay the $400 higher rate until I called them out on it. Horrible experience and I’m still shocked they didn’t offer even so much as a coupon as an apology.

Was one of the best getaways! Back patio was perfect for coffee by the lake in the mornings, and shopping/dining are within walking distance. Staff was excellent! Expedia messed up our reservations and the staff did everything to accommodate us during a busy season.

The furniture needs an upgrade. The sofa bed shouldn’t be advertised as an option as it was horribly old and uncomfortable. Also the bed was well worn. The staff was friendly and the location is amazing being the closest to canal park but needs an update, esp for the price you pay. Also, they forgot to restock the coffee and did not have any sheets or blankets for the extra bed in the room.

Stayed in a suite with our family, the 2 kiddos enjoyed the space. While at the property the TV wall unit fell off the wall and crashed to the floor nearly missing our 2 and 4 year old while watching morning cartoons. The whole unit was installed improperly - a horrible situation and hopefully the others rooms have been checked.
