They have done a lovely job. I haven’t stayed in a motel for a very long time but will be going back here the next time I am in Duluth. The back area is just lovely and peaceful with the bbq areas, fire pit landscaping.

Comfortable and friendly.

The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was nice to have a fridge in the room. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. The outdoor garden area was nice for an evening relaxing outside. We really enjoyed our stay.

The way Motels should all be.

I'd happily have stayed longer if my schedule had permitted. This gem was a welcome find and I wouldn't look anywhere else if in the area again.

I was a little unsure about staying at a “roadside motel” but during a recent trip to Duluth I was trying to find a pet-friendly budget stay. The hotel is close to the zoo and hiking trails and an easy drive into downtown. It’s very basic but very clean and had some of the softest sheets I’ve ever experienced! Room was cozy, having a mini fridge and a microwave is always a pleasant surprise. My only complaint is that there’s no curtain on the bathroom window which made me a little nervous. Overall a great stay!

Stayed two nights exploring the Duluth area. Room was extremely spacious and clean. Courtyard area was beautiful and relaxing. Jeff was very friendly and helpful! Location is very convenient to local attractions while still being away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas. Would definitely stay again. Just for informational purposes, currently there is no breakfast. Free Zoo passes were offered and bikes are available for loan/rent depending on the type.

Place is great! Lots of amenities

My stay was way better than I imaged by the photos! Cute rooms, well cleaned, super friendly owner, lots of amenities-including bikes, zoo passes, grills, a fire pit and free wood. I was expecting less and it exceeded my expectations. Honestly, it might be time for a new mattress, bed was a little saggy in the middle. Other than that, my stay was excellent! I’d for sure go back anytime! I loved the small inn style. Not loud and huge like a hotel and great extras. I vote, stay here and you won’t be disappointed!

I had great difficulty due to the extreme heat in my room. I learned there was a repairman there the morning I checked out to work on the system. Other than that I was very pleased with the room. Check in was smooth and there was little street noise. I would recommend.
