Top Great Lakes Aquarium Hotel Reviews

The Suites Hotel at Waterfront Plaza

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly. Room was good."

The Oliver Inn | Duluth Hotel Near Canal Park

10/10 Excellent

"Really cool conversion of the first city hall of Duluth into a boutique hotel. Our room was on the "first" floor (really the basement) without any windows, which was a little freaky at first. It was so quiet, we felt we were the only people in the building, even though there were several lounges/bars. We parked in the secure parking ramp across the street, which meant we were walking by a number of unhoused people with all of our luggage. There are NO actual staff on the premises, but the many texts that we received were sufficient in terms of checking in/out, and gaining access to the building and our rooms."

Holiday Inn & Suites Duluth Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, hotel was easy to get to, very clean"

Hampton Inn Duluth Canal Park

10/10 Excellent

"It may be a small thing, but the door access (keycard) worked wonderfully, and it was special entering my room and seeing a welcome sign with my first name on the big screen. It was a perfectly cleaned room with all the necessities, and breakfast was ready early for those of us ready to get out and see our destinations! All the staff were friendly and eager to assist, of those I met, and even a guest showed me how to prepare my waffle! A most fun experience, especially with a lake view, which is not always easy to obtain!"

Force on 5th Avenue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly and helpful. Property was very clean and well maintained. Impressed and very close to canal park."

"Absolutely beautiful property."

Endion Station Inn | Hotel Next to Lake Superior

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the Endion Station Inn room#5. Was located right on the shore of Lake Superior, walking distance from restaurants and tourist attractions. Loved the balcony, spent relaxing time watching the lake and people passing by. Comfortable bed, charming decor and enjoyed the Nespresso coffee machine. We loved the easy check and everything about the location and our stay. We recommend this spot 100%"
