Canal Park Lodge

We stayed here for a weekend and had a great time. The rooms are nice and we had a balcony overlooking Superior. Fantastic breakfast with plenty of food. Lots of seating for relaxing both inside and outside on the patio. Rooms were pretty quiet overall, but the doors shut hard so you do catch that noise from time to time. That's the only reason I gave the room 4 stars. I should point out that they had work being done on the roof and I couldn't hear that in our room at all. We'll be back. Nearby activities: Tons of walkable things to do. The beach is right outside the hotel along with breweries, restaurants, ice cream and coffee shops. If you like cocktails you should swing by Vikre.

Nice north woods decor but not over the top. Rooms are big and we loved having a lake view. Hot breakfast included. One day was omelet, hash downs and bacon. Another day was scrambled eggs, sausage and hash browns. Plus the usual cold buffet items like yogurt, bagels and cereal. We love the location right in Canal park and that it’s on the boardwalk so you can walk out the back door from the lounge and go for a nice stroll. They also have a fire pit and chairs outside to relax. Well done!

Great hotel for families visiting Duluth and specifically the canal park area. The staff here were fantastic, the facilities were well cared for, and the rooms were clean. We especially loved the S'MORES the hotel provided for us. The kids loved sitting down by the boardwalk eating marshmallows and chocolate. The hotels location is also very convenient, it is easy to get to and within walking distance of most activities in canal park.

The room showed a little wear, but it was very clean. The lobby was nice, and the view was superb. The outdoor patio was very nice. The lake walk runs between the hotel and the lake, which is very convenient. Every employee we talked to was very pleasant and helpful. I forgot my USB plug-in, and the evening desk lady, who had checked us in, loaned me one from the lost and found. She was so nice! I wish I would have gotten her name. The lady who checked us out was also very nice, and so friendly. We bought tickets to the aquarium from her too, at a discounted rate from the hotel. But one thing to note, if you have a tonneau cover on your truck, leave it rolled up. Several of us had our covers cut up and things were stolen from people's truck beds. The staff were great about helping the police. Luckily, all we lost was our cover because everything of value was inside the cab. Most of the others weren't as lucky.

It took three tried to receive a decent room. The first one we were in had electricical problems with lights flickers and no turning on. The second one smelled terrible - really musty. The third room was nice, just outdated. The breakfast they served was decent. The highlights of the stay were the staff, the location, and the outdoor area. The staff was very polite and helpful. As for the location we were able to check in and walk to everything. The outdoor area was very relaxing with a fountain, firepit and right on lake superior. However despite the upsides I would not stay here again but try one of the other hotels next to it.

Stayed for a night and enjoyed this nice hotel after staying in subpar hotels throughout our trip. Rooms are nothing special, clean and comfortable. The special things about this hotel is the waterfront access, fire pit outside, 24 hour coffee/water/hot chocolate, lounge space by indoor fireplace and the very diverse breakfast options. Breakfast is eggs, sausage, hash browns, pancakes, cereal almond milk available with small snacks like muffins and apple sauce.

Beautiful place by the lake. We got a nice lakeview room, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. So much so, we decided to stay another night during our trip. This location is also by some great local restaurants and breweries, completely within walking distance. We had a wonderful night of grabbing a local to-go beverage from a nearby brewery and have a drink out on the patio watching the sunset. Beautiful! My one complaint is the smell of the room. I thought the room we were in the first night was unwashedit smelled like sweat, especially in the bed. We learned that these were just how the rooms smelled. I'm guessing it's the kind of cleaning products they used? Both nights we stayed we aired out the bedroom for a while to get rid of the smell.

The bed was comfortable, the shower was nice. Had built-in soap dispensers in the shower. The room was spacious, the food was good for hotel food. The location is neat the Lake Superior, very pretty view.Rooms: 5/5

Beautiful view from balcony. I wish they would have bigger table and extra chairs in rooms. Somewhat clean , but dusty inside drovers, tables, bed headboards. Breakfast is ok.Rooms: 4/5

We stayed 4 nights while my brother was in ICU at St. Mary's hospital. The staff was friendly and helpful. Since we didn't know how many nights we would need, they suggested booking each morning for that specific night, while waiving any type of fee for the late booking. It was so helpful that with all the family stress of the hospital, the hotel was not a problem and they went out of their way to make everything stress free for us. Definitely would recommend this hotel!
