    Couple getaway worth it

    Had an amazing jacuzzi tub right in the room and the fireplace added a cozy touch to our stay. The balcony overlooking the harbor was perfect for sipping coffee and watching the ships pass.

    it wasn’t exactly cheap, but for the experience, it was acceptable.

    aerial lift bridge
    local pastries

    Breathtaking, breathtaking, breathtaking.

    I had the most incredible time watching the ships glide under the Aerial Lift Bridge right from my cozy Junior Suite Bay View! The binoculars provided were a delightful touch, letting me see all the details of the maritime action. Plus, savoring fresh local pastries for breakfast fueled my adventures perfectly!

    I loved the nautical charm of South Pier Inn, which made the lobby feel welcoming. There were ample seating areas both inside and outside, easily accessible and perfect for enjoying the beautiful views of the lift bridge and canal.

    More variety in breakfast options would be nice.

    breathtaking views
    nautical charm
    dated decor

    Breathtaking views from the rooms provide an up-close look at the lift bridge and ships passing through the canal. The unique nautical charm in the lobby, coupled with ample outdoor seating, makes it a perfect spot to soak in the scenery.

    No pool or hot tub on the premises creates a gap in the amenities for those looking for a comprehensive experience. Limited breakfast options without hot items diminish the morning meal routine, and the lack of sufficient parking might become an inconvenience during peak times. Some rooms felt a bit dated, impacting overall visual comfort.

    beautiful balcony
    convenient access

    perfect spot for exploring duluth's attractions and parks

    I had a wonderful experience with a balcony offering breathtaking views of the aerial lift bridge and canal, providing the perfect backdrop for my stay. the hotel's proximity to canal park made it super easy to stroll to shops and restaurants while being just steps away from the waterfront attractions like the great lakes aquarium and bayfront festival park.

    high price

    great location with stunning views

    The bridge view from our junior suite was breathtaking, creating a perfect backdrop for our stay. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making us feel valued during our one-night visit.

    For the amount paid per night, the overall experience felt slightly lacking.

    Perfect views and comfy stay

    We spent 2 nights in a Queen Room with a balcony and loved it! The view was incredible, we could see the ships glide by. The staff were super friendly and even called us when ships were coming! Breakfast was solid too, especially the coffee. Just wish the balcony had a better view.

    cozy spot
    fantastic view
    clean room
    lack of pool
    family amenities

    We loved our stay at this cozy spot with a fantastic view of Lake Superior. Our family enjoyed the private 400-foot shoreline path and the stunning sunset. The room was spacious and clean, making it a perfect retreat after a day exploring Duluth with friends.

    My kids wished there was a pool to splash around in after long days of sightseeing. A little more family-friendly amenities could make the stay even better.
