The Suites Hotel at Waterfront Plaza
It seemed a little run down and not as clean as the last time we stayed there. The room was not as nice as our previous stay. Great location though and appreciated the pool/hot tub area,

Canal Park Lodge
Our room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Great breakfast with lots of options. The hot tub was great. The view of Lake Superior is fabulous. I normally can't afford to stay here, but I got a great deal on our room, using the Price Watch option.
