Housed in the former Fitger's brewery, a building that dates back to the 1880s, this historic complex has been renovated into a 62-room inn with beautiful views of Lake Superior. A few minutes away from downtown Duluth by car, Fitger’s has several on-site restaurants and shops, including a brew pub, and bookings include free continental breakfast and valet parking. While the space definitely has an antique feel that isn’t particularly luxurious -- think older carpeting and wallpaper -- the venue’s history and amenities make it unique compared to the area’s other chain hotels.

The three-pearl Comfort Inn West is appealing to visitors for its modern design, indoor heated pool, and small bar. The 81 rooms are contemporary and come with great amenities like mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers. The features cover a free hot and cold breakfast, plus a few extras like a sauna, hot tub, coin-operated laundry facilities, and evening weekday receptions. There is no gym, however. The hotel’s location is best for those with a car as it’s about a six- to 10-minute drive to downtown Duluth and the University of Minnesota Duluth. Park Point Marina is a good alternative for those who prefer to be closer to the beach and Canal Park downtown.

This three-pearl property sits at the site of the former legendary Duluth Boat Club. While the hotel is well-maintained, the decor, which honors the former institution’s characteristics, can look old. However, the slightly dull interiors are offset by the lovely harbor-side pier walk and tranquil surroundings that are within walking distance to the busier Canal Park and Park Point Beach areas. The 68 rooms are spacious and well-appointed with microwaves, mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and pleasant views. Amenities include an indoor pool and hot tub, free hot breakfast, room service, and bike rentals. The hotel also stands out for its emphasis on eco-friendly energy conservation and recycling practices. The Inn on Lake Superior has similar features and is much closer to Canal Park.

The upper-middle-range Edgewater is an excellent place to take the kids. In addition to the huge indoor water park, the hotel offers an outdoor pool, an arcade, mini-golf, free bikes, and a free shuttle to local sights. Rooms are tired and basic, but they have family-friendly features such as mini-fridges, microwaves, free Wi-Fi, and some have bunk beds. Views of Lake Superior from upper floor rooms are spectacular. It's a noisy place, and adults may need to take a break in the Sunrise Lounge. The nearby Inn on Lake Superior is a quieter, family-friendly option with two swimming pools and nightly s'mores.
