Cons: The room was much smaller than you are lead to believe. You pay 300 for a very small cut up room. I don't mind paying 300. I have paid 500 a night. This property doesn't deserve it. The canal room was very small.

Pros: Staff Kate was nice. She did her best job to fix the mistakes the other staff didn't do. The hotel is nice but in a odd area looking out at a big boat yard and a few run down houses.
Cons: When confirming my stay the staff didn't do anything they said. We got stuck with a room looking at a big blue roof. They did give us another room which was made for a wheelchair person so the bathroom shower had no tub so when taking a shower the water ran all over. This is an $90 to $100 hotel tops anything over that your wasting money sorry to say.

Pros: Loved our early spring harbor view. Appreciated evening shuttle even though we stayed during "off" season and Canal Park public lots were free Close enough to walk to Canal Park.

Pros: The free bike rentals were very useful, the free kayaking was fun. The location is great, nearby lots of good restaurants and walking/biking distance from canal park. Room and staff were wonderful, and you can't beat free Smores by the firepits outside! Great for a couple, or for friends.
Cons: The air coming from the a.c. unit in our room smelled very sour, we didn't notice this until we woke up the next morning and could smell it in the air, easily traced back to the a.c.. I also wish that the kayaking wasn't limited to the small slip in front of the resort. My only other complaint was all the drunks who were hanging around the fire pits and airing out their dirty laundry, but that wasn't the resort's fault.

Pros: Good breakfast, coffee/tea available in the lobby all day, friendly staff, lots of lobby seating, located in Canal Park - easy to walk to restaurants & shops, amazing view of the lake.
Cons: Thin walls, the family next door (sounded like 2 young kids & 1 toddler) kept us up late at night and all night. You also can hear every door bang open/closed around you. It was MEA weekend, and there was a lot going on, but $344/night for a room is ridiculous.

Pros: The staff was friendly and conscientious about cleaning, masks, etc. the patio by the lake and the Canal Park Brewery right next door awesome.
Cons: We paid almost $250 a night after taxes to stay here. The location is great, but the price seemed a little excessive for what is basically a cookie cutter Hampton Inn.

Pros: I had a power-snafu at my new apartment and rather than be stressed I just checked myself into a hotel until I could work it out. The only things I wanted were easy parking and the white duvet rather than the weird plasticy motel kind. This looks like a recently remodeled property. Very clean, reasonably quiet, good sized room. Very clean bathroom with good water pressure and hot water. I will absolutely be putting my parents up here when they come visit. The price (low) is only because you're not downtown. But you are right across from the big Duluth/Superior retail area so there are lots of restaurants.

Pros: The convenience of Canal Park the hotel is close to everything.
Cons: Since the Hotel was remodeled from a warehouse all interior suites are high ceiling dungeons. The rooms had the decorating touch of some of the former warehouse workers who then sold there household furniture to add to the ambience. The exterior of the building was only missing the touch of a couple of drunks by the front door. To be fair it was twenty below wind-chill that day. So in the fall they are probably there. The walk across a busy street with luggage did add to my excitement while I stayed there. Oh I almost forgot the breakfast seemed like it was sent over from a near by restaurant there yesterday left overs.

3.7
Pros: The bed was comfortable
Cons: The staff were rude. The hotel is dated and dingy. It's inconvenient in regards to parking not only the location of the lots but the fact you have to place a parking slip on your dash and provide the hotel with your license plate and car info. A little redundant to save time for their staff not their customers. The staff was lazy and entitled especially the day manager. Hotel is very dark and features colors such as hunter green. It has an odor and generally is not clean and overpriced. But the worst part is the staff.
Excellent

Pros: Great staff; Location superb - closest hotel to Convention Center. I loved the warehouse-reftrofit character of my room. I could even open my window to hear the sounds of the harbor. Loved the place.

Pros: Overall it is a good hotel. Clean, room was clean and smelled good. Good area for walking to bars/restaurants, getting to the pier, etc and not far from the highway. Front desk person was nice and even suggested a few spots for hiking for us.
Cons: We stayed on a level that had a pool and it was pretty loud. They have two pools I believe and they take up the exact center of the floor and have rooms surrounding the pool with maybe 10 feet of space on each site. We could hear conversations going on at the pool from our room with the TV on, so definitely ask for a room not on a pool level if you want a little more quiet setting. Overall a good hotel though.

Pros: The location is great, close to Canal Park and the Duluth sights that most tourists want to see. We've been staying here on family vacations for many years and this hotel just feels comfortable, like a favorite pair of Levis.

Pros: Staff very friendly. Hotel is clean. Nice reception for the runners.
Cons: They jacked the rates up for the marathon. Over $300 per night? In Duluth? Really. It's a Holiday Inn. Our floor was the 10th. Lots of noise echoing through the halls until about 10:30 when the pool closed. No doorways on the hall to block noises from the pool area.

Pros: Location was good for doing things in downtown Duluth. Staff was friendly, room was clean, if on the small side.

Located in Downtown - Waterfront, this hotel is within a 10-minute walk of Lake Superior Railroad Museum, AMSOIL Arena and Duluth Entertainment Convention Center. North Shore Scenic Railroad and Bayfront Festival Park are also within 10 minutes.

Pros: The location was nice/convenient. The bar/restaurant on the top floor is such a diamond in the ruff. What a spectacular view.
Cons: However, I think you are missing the boat on what the bar on top could be. We went up to enjoy the view and a cocktail or two. We sat up there for two hours while we waited for the rest of our party. We were only waited on once. Five of us sat there with empty cocktail glasses and could not get the young man to even look at us. We had menus in our hand and would have love to order a few appetizers. It didn't happen. And the black metal railing the separates the windows from the rotation is terribly dirty. Rooms in need of updating. Hallways are dirty.

Pros: Location in relation to the rest of the town was wonderful. The skywalk was wonderful!
Cons: Parking was ridiculous. If you drive a truck you cant park in the parking garage because its too low. It would be worth it to make a sign saying that additional parking is available at the bowling place across the street as long as you have your ticket in the window. We didn't find this out until after we drove around trying to park then walked in and asked what the deal was with parking then they told us and gave us the ticket which then we had to walk out and fix (wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't blowing snow sideways) but It wasn't parking friendly if you have a truck.

Pros: Location was amazing
Cons: Large pot holes in the parking lot, I fell the 1st day before we got to the room. Really hurt my back so my weekend was limited on activities. There was something on the door handle that stuck to my hand. The floor seems like it wasn’t vacuumed in a long time (I wore shoes around my room because of it). There was also Paton peeling on the floor. Sunday morning we went to have breakfast in the restaurant, but weren’t told we need reservations. The restaurant staff didn’t offer to make us a reservation. The view was the best part. However I wouldn’t stay here again.

Pros: It was relativly close to the area we needed to be.
Cons: Total lack of communication from staff. There is not enough parking for all guests, but nobody is told about how to use the over flow parking. We booked the hotel because of the convienance to the DECC via the skyway. No one told us the skyway wouldn't be open early enough for us to use it. There are two on site restaurants, one is a very expensive and upscale. Fine if you have a business meeting or special night. Not so great if you just want an easy meal. The other is a bar with very limited apps. We have an event every winter in Duluth and I will never choose this hotel again.

Pros: I checked in with Tyler and he was very cool and very nice. Had a nice conversation with him right off the bat. The part of thebhotel where i stayed was a little outdated, but for the price I paid, I wasn't complaining at all. went to the rotating restaurant on the top floor after a while and had a beer. The bartender was really nice and accommodating, I never got his name however. Later on I even went to the front desk in desperation for a deck of cards and they had some free of charge. In the morning the parking ramp was well salted and not slippery, which is why I stayed in the first place was because of the bad weather and my vehicle being not the best for the conditions. Overall good stay. I'd recommend it to anyone and I'll probably be back.
Okay

Cons: The sleep number bed did not work, bed was very uncomfortable. Reported the bed not working, it did not get fixed. A lamp was broken, that got fixed. One morning the towels were not replaced. A box of facial tissue was empty for 3 days and never got replaced. Was not given a refund or discount for our stay due to booking through Kayak. Very disappointing. The JJ Astor restaurant is very expensive and the food wasn't that good. We had a better meal at the Timberlodge Steakhouse for half the price.

Pros: The location
Cons: It took over an hour from checking in to actually be given the correct room and amenities we paid for. It was next to impossible to find a parking spot. The sheets were dingy and torn. The sleep number beds leaked air and felt like a bad water bed. We called and asked for extra bath towels but none came, half an hour later ended up getting dressed still wet from the shower. Thank god we were playing In a Hockey tournament all weekend and didn't have to spend more time in the hotel.

Pros: Location was decent in terms of each part of the city. Com for table bed... that's about it.
Cons: Elevator was still rising with the door open. Wallpaper was peeling off all over the bathroom. No breakfast included. Bathtub faucet sprayed water everywhere when on shower mode. Room design was awful, you have to cross the toilet right in front of the bathroom door to get to the sink and tub. The hot tub was missing over 50 percent of the water so the jets were spraying everyone in the face. Small parking lot so we had to park across the street at a rundown bowling alley. Curtains let in a lot of light. Venting system would never shut off even on auto fan so room got dry over night. For how much this cost this was embarrassing. Will not be going back.

Pros: I loved how close it was to downtown shops and event areas so I could walk everywhere and I don't have to worry about parking or driving. The room was small but cozy. I had a special deal throigh Kayak so that's why I chose this hotel and I had a pleasent time for my stay.
Cons: Needed a little cleaning in icemachine and vending areas. Also the elevators where a bit rikity for being a hotel with rooms on the 10th floor. But the biggest annoyance for my visit was the staff. When I went to check in the girl obviously didn't understand that I had already purchased my room and was going to charge me for a whole other booking. So a tip would be to double check that the receptionist follows what you're telling them and not making you pay extra for your room.

Cons: Yikes, well, if I would have paid 1/2 of the price that I did (yes, it was Valentine's weekend, it was more than normal), I would have felt somewhat okay about it. Unfortunately, it makes me not want to stay in any Radisson again. It's a pretty run-down hotel. I think we should have stayed at the Motel 6.

Pros: Location was good. Front desk guy was very friendly and accommodating.
Cons: The stair carpet was loose on several risers, causing a big safety hazard. We both tripped more than once. The breakfast food was not fresh. The coffee maker in the room had mold in it from sitting with old coffee in it too long. The room had a strong odor of old cigarette smoke. There was no hair Conditioner offered, just shampoo. There was someone vacuuming at 6 am in the hallway. We could hear the conversation of the people in the next room, so the walls must be pretty thin. The room rate was way too high for the lack of quality in the facility.

Pros: This motel is located downtown and walking distance to canal park and the DECC, our purpose for the stay. It is dated but included wifi and breakfast. With that said our Wifi didn't work as they were recovering from a big storm the night prior. They ran out of milk (!) at breakfast and simply put up a sign saying so. The toast I defaulted to smelled sour in toaster and when I went to butter it, saw that it was mouldy. Because of the events in town we paid at least $100 more than what it is worth. The staff was friendly though, especially the young woman who set me up in the office so I could print our show tickets when their internet was down.
Cons: We paid a lot for a very basic and old hotel that didn't meet breakfast or Internet/wifi expectations.

Pros: Good location. Went there for some conferences at DECC. Walked to the conference center and back. The day of checkout I discovered my car battery was dead. Gentleman at the front allowed me to leave my car in the lot until I was done at the conference and come back to deal with it. Breakfast was good. Doughnuts, cereal, muffins, toast, Jimmy Dean sandwiches and a variety of beverages. Room seemed clean overall. Would have liked a list of all the channels so I could find something to watch without having to flip through every single channel very slowly.
Cons: Room was a little chilly when I came in so I turned on the heat. After the heater was on for a bit it warmed up very nice.

Cons: We were across the parking lot from the office/check in desk, and the wi fi didn't reach our room. The parking lot, like much of Duluth, is on a huge slant, and if we would have brought our Harley, we wouldn't have been able to park in their lot. The room seemed clean enough, but very VERY old and the bed skirt on the bed was ripped noticeably. We walked to dinner, and as we were walking back to the hotel, nearing sunset, we didn't necessarily feel safe doing so. This is a dark and dingy hotel that charges too much. If we hadn't been coming into town at 6pm and had more time to look for other lodging, we would have passed this place by in a minute. Keep looking is our best advice.

Pros: I reserved 5 rooms for our group. When we arrived they only had 1 room reserved for us. Fortunately I had the confirmation for the 5 rooms, and they had 4 vacant rooms so could accommodate us. The office person said that when I reserved them it should have automatically updated in their computer. This caused some tense moments but it was resolved. The rooms were fine, and it was good location, with a good restaurant nearby.

Pros: The room was very clean, staff was friendly and polite. Room stay includes a free breakfast. Facility also has free wifi. The room was small but furnishings were appropriate and well-maintained. I was pleased with the value for money. The location is perfect for downtown Duluth events and there is an extra parking lot above the hotel in case everyone double parks at night like they did during our stay.
Cons: The bed was extremely hard, making it difficult for us to sleep. Also, even with the heater on 75 and running all night, there were few blankets and we both woke up cold several times. It did promote cuddling, which could be romantic if I really didn't just want a good night's sleep. I'd bring my own pillow and extra blanket next time.
This family-friendly Duluth hotel is located near the airport, within 1 mi (2 km) of Lake Superior, Leif Erickson Park and Rose Garden and Glensheen Historic Estate. University of Minnesota Duluth and Duluth Entertainment Convention Center are also within 3 miles (5 km).
