Top Great Lakes Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Canal Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay overall. The hotel has clean rooms, convenient parking, and a decent free breakfast. One minor downside was that the rooftop partially obstructed our city view."

Lift Bridge Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location. Lakefront and walking distance from restaurants like Pickwick and Alto Pino, which I highly recommend BTW. Right on the Canal Park arwa. Fifteen minutes walk to the Aquarium and Bayfront Park. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and updated , staff is helpful. I have one suggestion though. It would be nice to add Adirondack chairs to watch sunrise and ro relax in the evening."

The Suites Hotel at Waterfront Plaza

8/10 Good

"This is a unique place. The room was spacious. I had a full size fridge and a counter top stove. Would definitely stay there again."

Park Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place with nice amenities like an outdoor fire pit."

Force on 5th Avenue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a suite with a city view. The room was like a small apartment. Very nice!!! Everything was so updated and clean. We loved it! And the hotel is very secure. The only issue is there is no on-site parking. You have to pull up to the curb, unload your things and then go find a parking ramp. There is a ramp just behind the hotel to use. Or one across from the hotel. But that is just more of an FYI. We would definitely stay here again. 👍👍👍"

Radisson Hotel Duluth - Harborview

"Check in was slow. Room was clean and neat. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was delicious."

Hostel du Nord

10/10 Excellent

"Walkable location to some good food options. The kitchen has everything you might need and they have towels/extra linens available. Bring your own shampoo/soap since they don't have any in the bathrooms."
