Top Great Lakes Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Force on 5th Avenue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Huge rooms! Kitchenette too and even had an oven and a good sized frig. Tall ceilings and extra large windows. Bathroom was extra large also! Could have used some hooks in hallway to hang items. There was a closet too. Would definitely stay again!"

Hampton Inn Duluth Canal Park

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival the parking lot was clean, plenty of parking, we'll kept grounds. Check in was fast, staff was friendly and very understanding and empathetic. Let me explain.... fully loaded luggage cart got away from me pushing it into the room. Had to push it over a slight hump and when I did it went sideways and cracked the bottom corner of a mirror. I immediately went to the front desk and told on myself. She was totally understanding and kind and said don't worry about it, accidents happen with carts all the time. I hope they don't come back and charge me, aa it seemed I had nothing to worry about. The room was comfy and clean with a magnificent view of the lake. Absolutely recommend this hotel. I didn't have breakfast but the breakfast buffet looked appealing."
