Beacon Pointe I have been and try to be a frequent traveler…read more Through my professional activity and vacations with my family, I have had the opportunity and blessing to travel around many parts of the world. I can speak and offer opinions with particularity and knowledge about hospitality. Unfortunately, lately, service and attention to detail have declined significantly. Perhaps due to cutting corners and not giving travelers what they deserve. Remember, people look for that little corner that somehow makes them feel close to home. I was very surprised and delighted to find this place. I didn't expect such personalized, friendly, and professional service. When I checked into the condo, I was pleasantly surprised. Large, comfortable, well-appointed, and with very tasteful details in the decor. Very well thought out. The privacy of the unit (305B) is excellent. The kitchenware and utensils are of very high quality. But the most important thing is the cleanliness and hygiene. A very rare bird, or Rara Avis, to find. I hope they continue like this. Especially with the bedding and towels. I wish them the best. Just one detail. They should have at least one unit with a shower for disabled guests, not for me, but for other people. Thank you.

The Northern Rail Traincar Inn delivered exactly what they advertised and more. My husband and I…read morestayed at this Inn while visiting our retirement property up in Two Harbors. This Inn sparkles with cleanliness! I notice details like baseboards, corners and shelves. Each railcar is decorated in a different theme. We stayed in the newly appointed Lighthouse Room. The lamps were shaped like lighthouses, the room was tastefully decorated with Lighthouse pictures and memorabilia, and the hallway that connects each railcar was built reminiscent of a rail yard and train station. When I called to make the reservation. I actually spoke with one of the owners. Cindy. She was personable and friendly. She is the epitome of a fantastic bed& breakfast-type Innkeeper. We met her at the Inn and she was funny and very welcoming. The food was good. They had your typical fare offered at most hotels. The only reason they didn't get a 5 star rating from me is I feel like they could develop a "trademark item" with their breakfast to go with the theme as well. The location is perfect for a quiet weekend or even a Northshore vacation. It's nestled in the wilderness and just a very short ride to Lake Superior. I highly recommend this Inn if you would like to relive some locomotive history!

This hotel is an absolute joy to stay in. Yes the rooms are extremely small, but of course you…read morewould expect that. It's just so much fun to stay here and bonus- you can watch local wildlife right from your window. Rooms were clean, and the managers offer a plethora of games and movies you can borrow- which is just fun! Be careful not to run in the halls though- it makes noise, and the managers will quell it immediately (which is a good thing, my kids just didn't realize it as I think we were the only ones staying there at the time.)

We are completely satisfied with our stay at the Oliver Inn. We knew when booking that some rooms…read morewere 'hostel' style and that the property was accessed with codes and such. Even after reading bad, outdated reviews, we decided to give it a go. So glad we did! Snively's lounge on the first floor is cute and pleasant. We enjoyed our 2 for 1 beer credits included with our room. This is a historical building, there will be noise. But, we weren't disrupted. The Rathskeller speakeasy down stairs is too cute. They weren't playing any jazz (which is common I guess) during our stay, which was fine by us. My hubby and I were celebrating our anniversary, and we loved our choices. Parking is simple enough, across the street in a secure ramp for $12 a day. If you read any reviews that there is a stinky Japanese restaurant on site.....that is outdated info. We stayed in room 3, two twin beds, lower level, shared bathrooms (2)....both have showers and we never encountered both being in use at once. Beds were comfy and the bedding was soft. We will definitely be back. Personally, I like no windows; I prefer to sleep in a cave. Lol. The elevator was a nice surprise. I need my knees replaced; stairs are not my friend. Lol.

General - This is one of my favorite places to stay when visiting the Duluth area…read more Location - This hotel is located on a small strip of land called Minnesota Point (a small, long island adjacent to the city's port). You get to drive over the iconic lift bridge to get to the area. There is a great beach area just down the road but the hotel is still close enough to walk into town to enjoy shopping and dining in Canal Park. The hotel overlooks the harbour, so if you stay here during the shipping season, it makes for a great place to watch boats coming in and out of the port. Rooms & Building - Rooms are very clean and modern with plenty of space and seating for a family to enjoy. Most of the rooms offer a patio that overlooks either the port or parking lot with views of the city. The building is kept in immaculate condition and offers a great mix of nautical and woodsy decor, a perfect setting that represents Duluth. Amenities - The hotel has a pool/hot tub/sauna as well as a large breakfast area and lounge with a fireplace. The pool was heated to a nice temp and the hot tub had good jets. Other amenities include hot towels, S'mores station during select nights, self-serve coffee bar and shuttle services to Canal Park. Food - There is a free breakfast buffet offered with your stay. Classic hot offerings with continental choices make for a filling breakfast with many options to pick from. There is no restaurant onsite but there is a small bar that offers some bar food and a small menu of canned drinks. Vibe - Easy going and super friendly staff. No complaints. Reality vs. Online - Pictures that I saw on their website and online matched the quality and condition of the hotel and rooms in-person. No surprises. Price & Final Verdict - When the price is right, this hotel is an easy #1 spot for me to pick, either for work or pleasure. The area is easy to get to while being right in the middle of one of the busiest areas of Duluth. The nautical setting and extra amenities adds to the enjoyment of the port and lakeside environment.

Given my last two stays in Duluth the hotels let me down. This hotel was lovely. The staff let us…read morecheck in early and were very polite and hospitable. The room was lovely with a nice view of the harbor and very clean. The pool was nice albeit a little on the small side especially if busy. The tv could be better no smart options and no menu to see what is on. The bathroom was very clean and spacious. They also have washers and dryers and a workout room.

A parking lot with hook ups but you are in a great location!…read moreThere are full hook up sites and water and electric only (which we were not offered) You can walk into downtown Duluth Watch freighters go in and out the harbor and watch the unique lift bridge which is spectacular Pricey for what it is but the location sort of kind of maybe might possibly make up for a portion part or fraction of the overcharge

Basically a parking lot located at a marina across from downtown Duluth (most of the RV spaces are…read moreused for boat storage during the off season.) Terrific location for walking to the city or watching boats go by, friendly enough owners. However, very expensive ($40 or so depending on the site) when you consider that you get portable cramped restrooms which are very far from your site unless you are parked in one of the closer sites on the street, poor internet service, a noisy camp site if you are parked on the street side, narrow spaces and few amenities like cable TV. The plan is to build a huge hotel on this property, and that apparently has taken precedence over providing a decent value at the RV park.

I am not an experienced fisherman but had a great time on our chartered boat with Happy Hooker…read moreCharters In Duluth. You can do as much as you want on your own or have them do the most of the work setting up the lines and taking the fish off. We didn't have the best weather so only caught two fish but still had a great time with our friends and the captain. Tip: Feel free to bring your own beverages in a cooler for the boat ride. Also, make sure to dress in layers as it can get chilly out in the water.

We booked an 8-hour charter with Captain Peter. The boat was nice, the crew member was very helpful…read moreand kind, and we caught 9 fish total. Because we split the fee among 5 people, the price was affordable. Unfortunately, Captain Peter completely spoiled the experience. The music he played was in poor taste, and he had a rude, sarcastic, and aggressive attitude. At one point, he yelled at us about how we were holding the fish for photos to protect his business image. Even worse, he physically grabbed one of our group members because they were standing in the wrong spot. His arrogant, disrespectful attitude spoiled what should have been a fun trip. Not one excuse would be acceptable or ever change what we experienced or how we feel. Our experience with Happy Hooker Charters Captain Pete was deeply disappointing we would not recommend this captain.

I've been coming here for years. Cabin 8 is my favorite. It's right on the water and secluded from…read moreall the other cabins. Sunrises are spectacular - any season of the year. The bed is fantastic! I sleep like a baby here, especially when I can open the windows and listen to the waves crashing on the shore. It has a full kitchen with most of what one needs to cook a meal. I often bring already made food, though, so I can just relax. Perfect for a couples retreat or just on your own to rejuvenate the soul. Exercise is possible both inside and outside the cabin. Management has changed in the last year. There are a few new furnishings that look lovely. And WiFi was added for those who want to indulge in a little entertainment or social media. Kendra has been great to work with. Do please keep the cabin clean - it helps the resort keep its prices reasonable. I visit every chance I can.
