I fluctuated between 3 and 4 stars with this review. I loved the view from our room and the whole esthetic of a warehouse turned hotel. The salt water pool was small but adequate if the place is not busy. The workout room was good and I thoroughly enjoyed the on site restaurant and their staff. The difference is as a "resort" it was a 2.5. As a hotel it was a 4.5. The hotel staff doesn't seem to match the vibe that the resort is going for in many ways. Front desk person at check in had taken a call about a double charge and was confused and by the time he was off the phone probably needed a breather as he failed to mention most of the amenities that I had overheard the other checkin person describe to other patrons. The overall experience was not as professional as you would have in other upper end establishments. I don't think it was the wrong staff but rather poor training. A few times during our 2 days stay, we needed to stop at the front desk. Each time staff were in the office with the door mostly closed (only open a crack) so we had to try to get their attention. We decided our questions weren't that important so we just left. On the morning after our first night, housekeeping knocked on our door twice before 10am to clean. Check out is at 11 and we were multi night guests. I didn't think the DND sign would have been necessary. The first time it was about 8:30am. We asked them to come back closer to noon. 10:00 they were back again. Since we had now been woken up twice, we figured we might as well give up on the R&R we came here for. When we left the room for the day at 11:00 we put the "maid service needed" sign up. When we came back that evening I was disappointed to see that the bed just had the blankets pulled up but wasn't all crisply made and besides adding a few new towels and toiletries, nothing was done. Sink and shower not wiped down, etc. I kept thinking, "You woke me up to pull the blankets up on the bed? I would have thought with that eagerness it was going to be a total room turn!" The hotel is less than a year old. In our room (304), there was a deep gouge on one wall and several smaller ones on the walls in the bathroom. Based on the age of the hotel I would expect these to be taken care of and touched up before they get worse. Maybe housekeeping hasn't reported them to maintenance. One of the amenities was an outdoor tent with a wood heated stove. It was a great space but awkwardly still decorated for Christmas on Feb 28. It was designed to be a place to relax and play games and socialize but it felt more like I was in a storage room as it was cluttered with odd objects and the Christmas decor so we didn't stay long. As we ended our visit, the front desk person asked if we were checking out and what room we were in. She didn't ask how our stay was. I guess the biggest difference between a better establishment and this one is ownership of the staff in the experience. They were all doing their jobs but did not represent themselves as owners of our experience. I have a couple suggestions for management as I believe this place has potential to be fabulous. The views are bar none. They have cool amenities like the outdoor hot tub, lots of deck space, and a fire pit with s'more fixings available. 1: really encourage every member of the staff to own the customer experience as if they owned the hotel. What would they expect as a guest? Everything is their job, even if it isn't in the job description. The customer should feel at home and pampered. 2: carry more local items in your "gift shop". The popcorn is nice but the area is famous for wild rice, the cranberry rice bread, maple syrup, etc 3: your hotel book should talk up the amenities, how to use them, who to contact, etc. We were going to use the shuttle one of the times we went to the desk and couldn't get attention so we just drove. We wanted to do the s'mores another of the times but went without. We learned about the tent from our waiter. These were cool things we were disappointed to not be able to take advantage of. As a hotel, the room was quiet, spacious and nice. As a resort, it did not meet my expectations. read more

Mostly a great hotel, they NEED to make reservations for the firepits.lf you are offering free Smores make sure your GUESTSl can take advantage. . Any random person can walk back and use one. Nobody from hotel checks if the people are actual guests of the hotel. Disappointing that restaurant is closed on Monday & Tuesday in prime tourism time. One of the major things we look for when going on vacation and booking lodging is on-site dining. For the price you pay for a room here improvement is needed! A wristband does nothing if they are not verified when using amenities guests are paying extra for. read more

Great place to stay and relax. It was very quiet at all hours of the night even though there was a wedding going on. At midnight I walked out to the fire pit overlooking the lake. 2 different couples walked by and asked me to take a picture. I stood alone for a while looking at the moon and ice on the water as a small rabbit walked around my feet by the fire. It was a really fun time. The food was good and they have good strong coffee free 24 hours a day. Our room could use more dolor and more local art but overall it was nice. Great view of the inner harbor. I will go back again when my wife and I need a weekend away from the kids. read more

I've always enjoyed the hotel's space but when I visited in early June I was very disappointed in their cleaning procedures. They promised very clean rooms and outdoor spaces but I never saw someone cleaning any of the common spaces. We were out until about 9:30pm one night by the fires and they hadn't even picked up the mess that was left from guests by the morning when we went out. I wished I would have seen them at least wipe down the elevator buttons/common outdoor chairs. When I tried to fill out the survey with my disappoint and write them twice on instagram they never responded. Why have platforms to express your concerns if you aren't going to acknowledge them? read more

Quite possibly the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on in a hotel--and that is saying a lot with all the traveling I have done with my ex in the military! First night was ok, but there was a spring in the mattress that assaulted my ribs. I mentioned it to the staff but there wasn't anything they could do. Second night I hardly slept and my husband was miserable with the mattress. I'm so happy it was a 2 night stay because I was exhausted today on the way home. It was supposed to be a romantic get away and this didn't bit the mark. Beyond that the price vs what we received was not nearly what you would expect. This isn't really a resort, I mean they have fire pits and s'mores at night, but wasn't really a "resort". The views are the only saving grace for this place outside of how clean it was. I would give them 5 stars on being clean. The majority of the staff is friendly and amazing. A few were rude and seemed annoyed we asked recommendations, but they were young and were probably really over getting the same questions over and over. I don't think I could possibly recommend this hotel. You are paying for a room and what we got wasn't worth $100 let alone $250 a night. But oh my gosh...that bed was MISERABLE! I wish we could have canceled the second night and stayed somewhere else. read more

One of the newest hotels Duluth area with a lot of amenities. Rooms are clean, most of them have a really cool views on downtown, Grand stand or Aerial lift bridge. There's a Keurig coffee machine right in the room and hotel has a nice restaurant. read more

We visited here when they first opened and loved it. Flash forward a couple years and the place looks like no maintenance or upkeep has been done since. I shouldn't have been surprised when I received a call the day of check in that our patio room that was booked four months ago was "uninhabitable"-whatever that means. Out entire reason for going-patio room was moved to a 2nd floor harbor room with dog hair all over the chair, banged up walls, dirty shower, mismatched light bulbs, and a great view (we won't be super negative). Our teenager sleeps late so when we finally opened up our room to main-service at 11 am we were received a little door hanger that advised maid service was done for the day. Paint is cheap-spend time monthly touching up your halls. Clean the place. One of our favorite places has become a tremendous disappointment. read more

Pier B Resort is a fairly new convention and vacation hotel on Duluth's waterfront. My wife and I stayed here overnight and also ate at Silo's Restaurant (reviewed separately). Great experience from beginning to end. Staff at check in, check out, and in between were all effusively friendly. The property is a terrific location, with all rooms facing something scenic or at least of interest. Everything indoors and out is well-maintained. Might be the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in. Our room was the cheapest one they offer, a king room facing away from the waterfront. Our view was of the retired Coast Card cutter Sundew, with some of the Duluth skyline in the background. 5 stars for interior decorating. Everything, from the bed, the furniture, the wallpaper, and bathroom layout were perfect. And like every other area of the property, super clean. Our room also smelled very nice, though I couldn't tell you what it was. Amenities here are complete. I liked the hot tub, and the shuttle service into town. The yurt out back was weird, but fun to sit in. The location was a major perk for us. Just a mile stroll down the harborfront to the attractions of Lake Avenue, with the Minnesota Aquarium along the way. The DECC building, also on the waterfront, is connected to downtown Duluth via enclosed skywalk. Rooms can be a bit pricey on weekends, and for special events, but definitely a worthy splurge. I recommend staying here on a weekday, and/or during the off-season (as we did), when everything is nice and quiet, and rooms are reasonable. read more

I write this review for others like me, who do not normally write reviews but often use them to find businesses that provide great service. I felt so welcome, relaxed and at home during my stay that I had to tell others of the EXCELLENT service we were given. Here goes.... We arrived at the Pier B Resort with full intentions of staying at the Sheraton downtown, as we had several times in the past. We just wanted to see what the Pier B Resort had to offer. Once inside we were greeted by Cooper, an employee of the resort. He was so welcoming and helpful, answering all our questions. With such awesome service, we decided to have lunch there prior to going to the hotel downtown. Cooper immediately ushered us into the restaurant introducing us to the hostess who brought us outside to enjoy our lunch on the deck. Our server Kim was so sweet! She made sure we had excellent service and great food. Once we finished lunch, we decided to take a walk around the resort. Wow, it is so beautiful with views that are just unbelievable. As we were enjoying our walk about, we ran into Cooper again (beautiful smile and EXCELLENT customer service). He asked if we would be staying with the resort during our time in Duluth. My husband said, "We are seriously considering doing so". We went to the reservation desk, where we meet Cody. Another welcoming smile with EXCELLENT customer service. We had only been in contact with a few of the hotel employees and already felt like we were special guests of the resort. They remembered our names through out our stay and anytime we saw them on property, they made every effort to make us feel at home. Cody gave us five-star service and reserved a room for our four-night stay. He took care of our every request and gave us a room with views of the Aerial Bridge and Lake Superior. We just loved our room and all that the resort offered us. I cannot say enough about the employees, especially Cooper and Cody. They most definitely are in the right profession; hospitality is their business, and they are masters in this field. This will be our hotel for all future trips to Duluth, we absolutely love Pier B Resort! Kudo's to Pier B Resort for choosing 5 star employees!! Sincerely, The Marini's read more

My husband and I went to the Pier B restaurant for our anniversary-- we had heard mixed reviews so we had delayed going, then we heard that they had a new chef, so we thought it was time to take the plunge. We went at around 5:45 on a Thursday and were seated right away-- no problem. Nice maitre'd. They sat us next to the window with the view. The atmosphere was quiet enough. We ordered the artichoke dip appetizer which came right away and was pretty tasty, pleased with that choice. My husband ordered the seafood scampi pasta bowl and I ordered the maple glazed salmon-- I asked what the vegetable of the day was, waiter said broccoli. We ordered-- then we had the Big Wait. Waiter apologized about a dozen times, but the food took almost an hour to come. Salmon was fine-- absolutely not extraordinary, the vegetable was acorn squash (not broccoli), which was cool when it arrived. Everything was *fine* but probably not a $24 meal-- for the money, New Scenic or Ledge Rock are better bets. I graded my dish at about a B. My husband had the scampi seafood bowl, and the shrimp and scallops were actually really nicely done and he gave his food an A grade. Because it was our anniversary, they gave us complimentary glasses of champagne, a lovely touch. Our bill came and there were no surprises... except for the suggested tipping. Where they made the "Suggested Gratuity Calculations" with 15%, 18%, and 20%, it's calculated wrong!! They are all a couple of dollars more than the actual percentage calculation! I was generally "B+" about the experience until I saw the suggested gratuity-- it's fine to charge fine dining for a mediocre experience-- the menu has the prices listed, but the suggested tipping just feels like they are trying to "get you" and trick you, this is one of my huge pet peeves! I can handle overpaying for a meal if I choose to, but I can't handle dishonesty. Not a negative experience, and certainly some nice features, but probably won't be rushing back. read more

Pier B Resort - The calculated gratuity is not correct -- they have made the percentage calculation a few dollars higher than it actually is. - Resorts Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

We loved our stay at pier b. It was clean and the staff was ultra great. We went recent when was so cold but staying at pier b was so fun ! The silos appis and drinks were the best. Would definitely stay again read more

When I travel from Thunder Bay to Duluth I only stay at Pier B Resort now. Recently stayed for my 3rd visit! From the Rooms, The View, the Restaurant Silos, and the property everything is top notch. The location is fabulous and the staff are very accommodating. My only suggestion is to allow the hot tub to operate later, and provide Robes in the rooms. Amazing place to stay! read more

Good location. Clean rooms. Pretty good restaurant. I would have given it a much higher rating if not for one thing: The bathrooms. Some genius architect thought it would be good to design a shower with no way to pull a curtain or close a door. Yes, the water goes out on the floor. No way to stop it. Also, there are no handholds in the shower which is hazardous for seniors (like me). Okay one other ding. The window has a blackout shade, but no translucent shade for those times when you want light, but not transparency. Great for vampires and exhibitionists, but not so much for average people. read more

I travel for business and for this trip to Duluth, MN the client booked this hotel for my 3 night stay. I do not understand how it is called a resort. From my perspective it is just another mid level hotel. It has a nice view of the harbor from the public areas, my room did not face that way. The bathroom had only a shower with only a 70 percent encloser wall leaving a large open area. I had to take care not to get too much water on the floor. Then there was the exciting shower water temp changes. The room ac was LOUD noticeably more than most hotels. To cap off the experience was the checkout . . . There was no one at the desk even after a several minute wait, not a typical experience. Next time I will try somewhere else. read more

My husband and I stayed at Pier B Resort for a work conference. To call this a "resort" seems a stretch. The room was nice and we liked the sleek industrial decor. It would have been nice to have another soft chair or something in the room. There is a need for training of staff to be more consistent. At check in, I asked about the shuttle service I had read about in other reviews. There is nothing on the website about it and I wanted to know more. I was told that it runs all day and goes within 5 miles of the property. The next morning I went to the front desk to get the shuttle. I was told then that it does not run until 4pm. I have a feeling that the staff person was thinking about the Bentlyville Wagon shuttle to see the lights. Later that day when we did go out to see the Bentlyville lights, the wagon shuttle was out of gas. It seems that at this location, they are trying to run a hotel and a restaurant as two separate offerings and not working together. The training my husband was part of had lunch offered each day and there were problems every day. Day one food not ready on time and not enough made. Day two buns for hotdogs and hamburgers still frozen. Day two happy hour appetizer buffet not enough clean plates out and chicken wings cold and undercooked. When pointed out to a serving staff she said that the wings were smoked 30 minutes and in the oven for 20 minutes. Given that the conference was scheduled at least in September 2017 for December 2017 I think that the restaurant or kitchen staff should have been more on top of plans. To top it all off, at check out I asked to speak to a manager to let them know about some of these issues listed above. I was told that the manager was in a meeting, but I could leave my name and contact. A week later after repeated phone calls and an email sent to the general email listed on website I heard back from the manager. As we are talking I find out that she did not read my email yet. The customer service is lacking at this place. read more

We were in the bar. Bartender charged us too much. Not a good bartender ar all. Crabby for sure.

What a great family location. We stayed here on our way to camp. Kids had a ball on the boardwalk, making s'mores, and the views were stunning. I'll be sure to return. read more

If you are traveling and want a quiet room this is not the place to stay. My ceiling might be concrete but the walls are paper-thin. I was here during MN Hockey Day the last stay and it was crazy. On this trip, there is another kid/family conference that has the hotel packed. I have screaming children next to me. Screaming not just a little noisy. I was going to work from the hotel room this afternoon and now need to find somewhere else to go! Will not return. read more

This place was amazing. From the room to the food, everything was beyond expectation. Silos restaurant and bar did not disappoint! Eddie and Tanya were great hosts. The rest of the staff was incredible as well. Everybody had a smile on their face and we were always greeted warmly. Housekeeping did a stellar job! We will be back. Great Duluth experience! read more

Pier B Resort - View from our room this morning. - Resorts Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

My wife and I stayed a couple nights this past week. They're new, and they're promoting themselves with discount prices, and even a visit by WCCO on Thursday morning! We got a great deal, and decided to give it a try. The facilities are gorgeous. Wonderful room, comfortable bed, great lake view from our room, and close proximity to the boardwalk. Seems like a lot of folks are rating their restaurant, "Silos", and not the hotel. Our experience with that restaurant was not horrible. It was pricey, but good food. Also, too: outdoor hot tub. read more

I'm not sure what part of this is the "resort". Rooms: The room we had was nice. Large and spacious. It had one sitting chair. Really? There was plenty of room for a second chair or a couch. Something, anything would have been wonderful other than sitting in shifts. The shower is freaking AWEOME! Outside: On the backside facing the lake there's a few patios, fire pits, an enclosed (in the winter) hot tub. It was winter when we were here, so the outdoor amenities were not very useful. Even standing next to the fire pit the piercing wind was freezing me to the bone. But they did have the hot tub running. But that closes at 9pm? Seriously??? Really? Overall this is overpriced and isn't a 'resort'. read more

Went there now that it has been opened for a while. Was pretty impressed by the physical aesthetics of the restaurant, but it was full and a bit noisy. We got the duck poppers and there were only 4 small bites for $12. Now, I am not exactly sure how much duck costs, but the fact that they lacked the goat cheese and jalapeño flavors that were listed on the description left me perplexed. I had a hard time choosing an entrée because there was not much of a happy medium. You had a choice between moderately priced burgers (~$15) and very expensive steaks and entrées (~$30+). If my memory recalls there were only 2 or 3 items that fell between $15 and $25. I was also wondering how a skirt steak can be $27, 4 less than a new york strip. I ended up going with the horseradish burger. Which was more oniony from the raw red onion on the top than anything. The burger came medium well, where I ordered medium. This is something I have come to expect in Duluth though. However the patty had very little flavor. It needed some pepper or something (maybe horseradish). My fiance had the wings, which were a bit higher priced. They came with a dry rub and 3 different dipping sauces. None of the sauces were stand out, and we're confusing because there was a 2 minute schpiel about what they were. Oh, and the wings were all the drummie ones, none of the 2 bone wings. That was odd. Overall we were not impressed. The service was fine, but nothing extraordinary. I had an empty beer for about 5 minutes. The lack of mid priced items was disappointing. We probably won't be back until they redo their menu. read more

The bed was super comfortable and the bar tenders were fun, but I don't think I would stay here again. It just I didn't feel very cozy. I joked with a friend that this place should be called the Bare B. For example, there was no curtain/door for the shower and there was no rod or anything to hang my washcloth on. The room also didn't have the standard notepad and pen on the desk, or a book with local attractions and restaurants. It was a bit difficult to fall asleep as well, because the heater was so noisy, I could hear water running through the pipes, and I could hear the people next to me having a domestic argument. If you only plan on staying one night, you would be fine, but not much more than that. read more

I found this place while taking the North Shore Rail tour. The resort and restaurant look incredible although it is newly opened and the finishing touches are still being tweaked. But I was hungry and love trying new places. I am giving this place 3 stars only because of the lacking food and NOT the construction that was going on outside as I ate. I sat outside overlooking the lake and the bulldozers. After looking over the menu I ordered a glass of wine with the clams, the duck poppers and finally the Diver Scallops. STEAMED CLAMS white wine, parsley, red peppers, cherry tomato, pancetta, crostini's $15. See the pic attached. These took a while to get to the table. The waitress apologized. But when they did get there they looked and tasted delicious! However, I had 2 much larger clams at the bottom of my bowl that never opened. Whether clams that don't open when steamed are bad or not (could go either way) they never should have been included in the dish. The waitress asked how they were and I pointed out the unopened clams. She apologized and said she would tell the chef. DUCK POPPERS nueske's bacon, goat cheese, fresh jalapeño, huckleberry balsamic reduction $14. See pic attached. These got to the table before I was half finished with the clams. The waitress again apologized that these came out so soon. These had the chance to be amazing. But the duck was over cooked and the poppers had entirely to little goat cheese and jalapeño. They had no jalapeño heat at all. The reduction was very good and the fennel slaw was great. When the waitress asked how these were, I said they were good but pointed out why they weren't great. She agreed and said she would tell the chef. DIVER SCALLOPS roasted tomato harissa, fresh herbs, carrot chips, faro salad, moroccan vinaigrette $35. See pic. These came out at the appropriate time. However not by my waitress and barely warm. The scallops had a great sear on top but white in the bottom. They were perfectly cooked despite no sear on the bottom but lacked seasoning. I used as much of the Moroccan vinaigrette as possible for flavor. The faro salad was barely warm as well. I know scallops can be tricky and over cook easily but the dinner should not be served less than warm. Again the waitress asked how these were and I again told her why these were ok and not great. I went on to say that if I'm expecting to pay $90 for dinner I should expect more than ok cuisine. She completely agreed and said she would tell the chef. My bill with tax, tip and a single glass of wine was $90. Nothing was adjusted On the bill even though I again and again told the waitress why the food was simply mediocre. They have a lot of improving to do before they should command those prices. read more

+star: Location is great. Just down the street from Canal Park. Recommend getting the lake view since the industrial view is a bit noisy and bright from the parking lot and highway lights. +star: Rooms and facilities were clean. Bed was very comfortable. Quiet spot other than loud neighboring rooms. +star: outdoor hot tub and indoor pool were great. A good size but can be packed with all the other hotel guests. Exercise room was very small. Hotel has a restaurant but stops food service at 10 PM. No room service for food but hey were when booked. -star: A very minimalist modern hotel. You can tell what the hotel was trying to achieve in comparison to other ones, but failed due to the lack of detail. I travel a lot for work have seen much better. Even the blinds were a pain to move up and down (Large window, chain pulley). -star: service was nice up front, but when I requested service for my room to repair a loose screw on the toilet roll holder, It was never repaired. Wasn't clear if they ever sent anyone or not. I had just checked in, which most hotels respond promptly too in order to make sure your stay was pleasant. Definitely a 3-star stay experience. read more

Not sure where to start, so I'll start at the beginning. We waited over 30 minutes in line to check-in, because apparently they told everyone that their room wouldn't be ready until 4:00. We had reserved a double queen, and the beds were VERY comfortable. However, there were coffee spills and dust accumulation on the desk and dresser that I had to wipe off with a wet towel. The chair also had food crumbs on the seat and back, and there were food crumbs on the floor near the bed. Housekeeping needs to step it up several notches. Not sure why, but we were assigned a room that overlooked the entrance parking lot. The single window only had a room darkening, top-down shade, so our only options were to be in a fishbowl to everyone as they arrived, or be in the dark as the lamps were not very bright. The room itself was OK because it was new. There are already some gouges in the drywall, so don't know how long this will last. The bathroom door slides to also be the closet door, so one will always be open. The closet only had a few coat hangers, and no bag for dirty laundry. The pool was fun for the kids, but not big and very basic. It was awkward for the kids to be swimming with adults swilling Busch beer and mixed drinks in the pool. It's a bit of a hike to Canal Park. At check-in, we were told they had a shuttle, but it wasn't clear how to get a ride, and the front desk always had a line. The restaurant was convenient, but food was just so-so and expensive for what we received. That however, is a different review... We may return because of the proximity to Bentleyville. I would not pay weekend rack rate for this hotel. read more

Our lunch at the Silos Restaurant today was outside on the deck. Beautiful view, beautiful weather, comfortable table, good service, but mediocre food. All of the food we tried looked amazing but lacked flavor. The Thai chicken wraps had no heat or any real Thai flavor. The Lobster Roll and Shrimp Po' Boy also were void of any flavor. Disappointing because everything about the location and service were great just the food was sub-par. The prices were high for the region. We spent over $70 for two people at lunch. The Silos Restaurant is fairly new so maybe in a few months or a year things would be different, for now I wouldn't recommend it based on today's experience. read more

Service from my server was amazing. The support male server spilled water on my stuff but nothing was damaged. We came for the Sunday breakfast I had the salmon Benedict and that was a shock not exactly what I expected reading the menu but it was very good and filling. My daughter had the venison Benedict and she said it was very good and had a little spicy kick to it that she liked it, she also commented that her orange juice was very fresh. Our female server with the red hair was very attentive to our needs, the guy that spilled the water on my stuff to be honest ticked me off and I dismissed it at the time. read more

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. My daughter, granddaughter and I were there this last weekend when they had the fire.

I attended a wedding at Pier B Resort this past weekend. It was my first trip to Duluth. What a breath taking view from the airport to the resort. The resort has a shuttle that picks up from the airport but you have to call ahead with your flight arrival time. I didn't need to rent a car because the shuttle took us everywhere we wanted to go. There is also a beautiful harbor walk that is less than a mile from the resort to the downtown area. (I think it's called Canal Park) There is plenty of nice shops, restaurants, and bars in the downtown area. There is also hiking, biking kayaking.... Lot's of outdoor activities. The room at the resort was a bit plain. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. The staff at the desk were extremely friendly and helpful with information. We also ate breakfast and lunch at the Silo restauant which is located at the resort. The food was good but the menu was limited. They had plenty of little places where you could sit, relax and play games. Outside there were two big fire pits and a hot tub which were nice to relax at in the evening. We had a great time here and would probably go back during the summer. (It's a little warmer then ;) read more

I heard about this hotel from a friend. The rooms had nice view of lake. The bedding was not changed. The pillows had make up stains from previous guest.

I left messages for absentee hotel manager and no response. I will not stay here again. My advice check your bed before accepting the room. read more

The New York Strip, Walleye Fish & Chips and clams were delish! We came on a busy evening during their 2nd weekend opened and while they so have some kinks to work through (as any new place), you can tell this chef cares about what his kitchen puts out! We've really enjoyed staying at this resort and dining here as well. As far as the staff at the resort Markie and Dan are by far the most outstanding employees I've encountered in a long time! When reading the previous 1 star review on here, please keep in mind this place has only been opened 3 weeks and note they're complaining about pretty minimal issues that could have been corrected if they'd asked. Give this new spot a chance and you won't regret it! Our resort stay has been topped off with excellent amenities, great staff members and tasty food! read more

We booked this hotel for a nice Anniversary weekend but it didn't turn out that way at all. At check in Alina (I believe that was her name) was great! We ended up not having a babysitter and brought our kids with on our trip. Alina was super great and changed our room around so we had 2 beds instead of 1 and put us in a room that the view was all Lift Bridge. The view was amazing but..... The rest of our stay left very much to be desired. At check-in we were told about the salt water pool, the outdoor hot tub, that they had games available for use and s'mores nightly in their yurt. We tried to use the pool but it was jam packed with kids that weren't being fully supervised by their parents who were just standing around drinking and chatting in a big group (hockey families - if you're from MN you know what I mean by that...). We had a 2 & 5 year who tried to swim with their dad but they all kept getting ran into or jumped over and splashed so it wasn't enjoyable for them and the hot tub was packed with pre-teen kids so there was no getting in there. We didn't bother with trying to do the s'mores because we assumed it would be packed with pushy kids there too. The room was pretty and the view was great but the heater smelled like burning dust when it turned on and whenever it ran while we were there, the toilet paper holder fell off the wall and I could hear an over indulgent adult vomiting in the bathroom next door, then in the morning it looked like there was water leaking into our bathroom from the bathroom next door. When we were trying to get our kids to bed there were pre-teens out at the hot tub screaming as if they were being chased in a horror film and then of course the constant opening and closing of hallway doors, which slammed every time and the running or stomping down the halls. It was strange that they have an on site restaurant that is part of the hotel but they don't offer room service besides 4 pizza choices and also don't offer a breakfast other than 5-6 options that are $10/each on top of the $200/nightly rate. I understand that these hockey groups probably bring a lot of money to the hotel and bar but I wish hotels would take the time to ensure the other guests weren't being disturbed and take action when they know people are being disrespectful to other guests. read more

One of the best hotels I've stayed at in Duluth! Brand new. Trendy hotel. The free bike rentals were amazing to zip downtown. It was great not to have to haul our bikes up north. Comfortable beds with great views. We will be back!! read more

Clean as could be. Ran smartly across the board. Went the extra mile with everything. Pet friendly and really welcomed the pets. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Pleasantly surprised with the Covid-19 measures taken. read more

First, the website is lacking information. Went on Sunday and found they only have a brunch menu. Service seemed slow despite only about 8-9 occupied tables - water was not filled. The menu has very few vegetarian options and is very pricey - be prepared for ~$30 entrees (despite this being at lunch time (remember no lunch menu on Sunday). The food was excellent. Walleye fish & chips had a nicely crisp crust with moist fish. The jalapeño aioli was exceptionally flavorful and the tartar sauce was freshly made. Grass fed beef burger was also cooked to a perfect medium. Overall good food, pricey, but really need to improve service. read more
