Business and group stays
The hotel has a 600-square-foot meeting room and a business center with a computer and printer. Note: Groups like sports teams and conferences may cause nighttime noise in hallways.
“What stands out here is the embrace of the surroundings: the indoor pool welcomes late swims, and community art enlivens the decor. The in-room kitchenettes add convenience for families exploring Canal Park and the lake views, so close to the Aerial Lift Bridge. I think it's a smart choice for those attending local events, blending comfort with the spirit of Duluth.”
