Pier B Resort
One of the beds in our room had a blood stain on the sheets and a piece of trash under the blanket. I told the front desk about it, and they said they would have someone follow up but they never did. Seriously grossed out and disappointed that they didn’t take this more seriously.

Radisson Hotel Duluth - Harborview
The room was beautifully decorated and very cleanly, filled with ammenities. The hotel was absolutely gorgeous, even while still under some renovations. Their hot tub was also under maintenance and was unavailable.

Fitger's Inn
I was not familiar with Fitgers and once I arrived, I could not believe what a fabulous place it is. There is so much to do; the rooms are quiet and clean, the food is excellent and the view of Lake Superior is stunning.
