Check-in went so quickly and easily. Friendly staff. Rooms were very clean and nice and beds were very comfortable. Lots of places to eat within a short walking distance. Breakfast was great, though a suggestion would be to put the wafflemakers towards the end of the line as it created a backup of people waiting at the beginning of the line. Would definitely stay here again.

Located right in the beating heart of canal Park Right where we wanted to be and walkable to the lake walk, the canal, the aerial lift bridge, and more restaurants than I could eat at in the month. The room was an excellent suite, full kitchen for those meals you may want to cook. Nice large pool area, excellent breakfast. There is also convenient parking on either side of the building that was free. We plan to stay there again next time we're in Duluth.
