Such a nice little get away spot in the heart of Duluth. It is surprisingly peaceful and quiet for being so close to the action. Within walking distance to many of Duluth's biggest attractions. The ships coming through the canal really make this a special location.

The location was perfect. We were able to view the Bentleyville lights from across the bay. Walked to get our continental breakfast in the morning & watch the bay from our room. Short walk over the lift bridge to Canal Park, highly recommend.

Very Nice stay.

This was our first stay. Hubby was geeking out at how close we were to the lift bridge. The view is beautiful and we could see the Christmas Lights from our window. The living room with hot tub was cozy and we enjoyed watching TV in the evening as we relaxed from our day. The only issue is that parking is quite limited. Also, if you have guests that have a hard time with stairs, be sure to ask for a ground floor unit, as there is no elevator. We will stay again sometime.
