Top Downtown Duluth Hotel Reviews

The Suites Hotel at Waterfront Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet, room clean"

Force on 5th Avenue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I booked a bright two bedroom suite on an upper floor with great views of the Lake and lakefront area. It was spacious, absolutely clean and the kitchen was well-furnished. I parked in the City parking facility two blocks away, paying $10 at the Hotel. Great value for often (for whatever reason?) Duluth."
