Lift Bridge Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel
Staff were alllll crabby. I didn’t find one happy staff member. From the front desk, to the cleaning staff - the breakfast crew didn’t seem happy either although they were kind to us. Pool was so chlorine’s we couldn’t swim. Our eyes were burning. Rooms were decent though - it was clean!

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Duluth by the Mall
Room was very clean. Comfortable beds and the pool was a perfect temperature. They had cookies out in the evening which were fantastic. The hot tub had a big clump of hair and slime in it. Overall a good stay for the price.

Room was very clean and ready , breakfast was closing 15 minutes early so the Lady doing cleanup was a crabby old thing . Other than that my wife and I really enjoy staying here.
