Salyards Mansion
Really cozy rooms with ornate, historic details. Loved the light continental pastries and local coffee in the morning as well as the sauna late at night after a long day. Kirsten made us feel welcomed despite a double booking upgraded our stay and gave us a bottle of Prosecco to ring in the New Year ...

Lift Bridge Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel
Staff were alllll crabby. I didn’t find one happy staff member. From the front desk, to the cleaning staff - the breakfast crew didn’t seem happy either although they were kind to us. Pool was so chlorine’s we couldn’t swim. Our eyes were burning. Rooms were decent though - it was clean!

The Suites Hotel at Waterfront Plaza
Out Check In Person was very helpful and very nice. Our room however was not ready by the 4pm check-in. The breakfast also was okay. I would not recommend the eggs however as they were very chunky. The room was nice but industrial. likes the extra room in the suite.

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Duluth by the Mall
Room was very clean. Comfortable beds and the pool was a perfect temperature. They had cookies out in the evening which were fantastic. The hot tub had a big clump of hair and slime in it. Overall a good stay for the price.
