The hotel offers a stunning lakeside experience in Duluth, perfect for both relaxation and adventure. The rooms are spacious and well furnished, with spotless bathrooms. However, there could be improvements in the breakfast variety, and accessing the hotel from the main roads may require a bit more navigation than expected.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel in Duluth. The lakeview rooms were fantastic, though not all had balconies. The staff was accommodating and friendly, making my visit even more enjoyable. The breakfast spread was impressive, while the location offered easy access to local attractions. The only downside was the automatic safe fee, which I wish was optional.

Our stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the room was spacious and offered breathtaking views, the check-in process was frustrating and not ideal, given the holiday rush. However, the staff's efforts to accommodate us were appreciated. The location was great, being close to attractions, but parking was a hassle. Overall, it's a beautiful property with some service issues that need to be addressed.
