Planning on two nights in the Duluth area August 24 and 25. Really would like to be close enough to the lake to have a view. However, prices in Duluth Canal Park are steep. What about Superior? Do any of the places near the lake have a view and how is the area around there?

May have to go away from the water. Any ideas? Saw the BW Downtown Duluth listed. Any personal info? A couple of the cheaper places in Duluth are said to be in an "industrial area" and I don't think I would be comfortable there.

Your help would be very appreciated.

What price range? The Inn on the Lake is nice. I have stayed there several times and it's close to everything, so no gas costs!!!

Hi Papermoon,

I was hoping for around $100. I'm getting the feeling that is not going to happen.

Thanks.

I always book hotels on Priceline and I have not been disappointed yet. I just got a 3 star in Minneapolis for July for $65. Try that or - I just saw that Edgewater on London Rd (Duluth) has rooms for $99 + tax. I have stayed there. and also Fairfield Inn (just before you come into Duluth ($109) plain but ok.

Just realized that a friend of mine often stays at
Willard Munger Inn. check it out on the net. Nothing fancy. Rates good.

In Superior, on the lake is this hotel, I know it's pretty location, don't know about the hotel itself.

I personally would bid on Priceline as I often get the Holiday Inn downtown, the Radisson or Sheraton. All have lake views and none are too far from Canal Park. When I have stayed in Canal Park, I have gotten the hotels from the hotel website. I don't know about Superior hotels, but I personally would not stay there if I wanted to be in Duluth.

Even an "industrial area" in Duluth would be nicer than most in Superior, unless you have a great affinity for seedy bars.

Barker's Island is a bit of an exception, but you're still better off with the Priceline suggestion.
