Top Downtown Duluth Hotel Reviews

The Suites Hotel at Waterfront Plaza

8/10 Good

"They need something to be like hoops. Choosing a different place to stay in November."

Force on 5th Avenue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great rooms with enough privacy for everyone. Comfy beds and enjoyed the large kitchen and spacious table. We had a “city view” room and it was sunny and bright. Will try to get a “lake view “ next time, just to up the fun factor. Parking: register your car at check-in and utilize the parking garage that is owned by the City of Duluth. It is about a block (uphill) from the hotel to your parked car. The garage is well lit at night and felt safe. Once I figured out you can park to unload and load by the front of the hotel, it made it easier to arrive and depart on our first and last day. Honestly I have had to walk farther before at hotels that have their own parking lot. So it seemed inconvenient, but really wasn’t that bad."

Hostel du Nord

10/10 Excellent

"Free parking in the back was a pleasant surprise! I was only here for a quick place to sleep before continuing on my journey but it was everything I needed. Clean showers and easily accessible bunks. Its an easy walk to the Canal from the Hostel as well. There is a large bunk capacity at this location, two level bunkbeds both upstairs and downstairs, and they both seemed to be Co-Ed at the time of my visit. Fresh sheets, a pillow and a towel were provided with the bunk. Blackout curtains, a lamp and a fan that are provided with your bunk. The owner was very friendly and helpful with recommendations in the area."
