Stayed at the South Pier Inn on 4/20 to 4/22. The location is good however you are dependent on the draw bridge in order to get across to the Canal area where everything is. Room was very small but price for the area was good. We didn't need a room with a view of the water so we were good... More

We stayed here at a discounted rate from the StarTribune - Steals Deal. Our room had a Queen size bed, a whirlpool, a fireplace and a small private deck. The location was amazing! The weather did not cooperate very well and it pretty much rained the whole time we were there and the next day we awoke to a coating... More

One of my new favorite hotels in Duluth! My wife and I stayed in the Grand Panoramic Suite and it was beautiful. Fireplace, hot tub, separate bedroom, and windows everywhere! The view is amazing. Right on the water and right next the Aerial Lift Bridge. We spent most of our trip just sitting on our balcony staring at the bridge... More

We have stayed at the South Pier Inn 3 times, and enjoy the relaxation and convenience to Canal Park every time. Our preferred room is the King Bedroom Canal View, as it has a separate bedroom. Love the little yellow "duckies" made out of face cloths beside the tub :)Super clean, the front desk staff are very friendly and helpful... More

From this hotel we were able to walk to a movie, a happy hour with perfect mojitos, then to an Italian restaurant with a Wine Spectator award winning selection and delicious food. Great location! Lovely room, clean and contemporary. In the morning we will have a nice continental breakfast. All this for under $100 (AAA or AARP). We're happy!

My husband and I went up to Duluth for our 5 year anniversary and checked out every hotel in the Canal Park area. South Pier Inn was one of the cheapest. We decided to stay there for 2 nights and it was the best decision we had made. The view was to die for. It was so fun just to... More

Very clean. We had a canal side suite. We enjoyed the whirlpool and fireplace. Had great view of the boats going thru the canal, lift bridge and the city of Duluth. Walking distance to the canal park area. Plan on going back in the future.

We were looking for a quick getaway and chose Duluth for a night. We enjoyed the South Pier Inn - close enough to walk along the harbor as well as to Canal Park restaurants and shops. Some will love being right at the base of the lift bridge; others may not. We did not ask for the wake-up call to... More

You cannot match the view or location. Subtle luxury made attainable.

There are a lot of good lodging choices in Duluth on Canal Park. Most are very nice chain hotels with good accommodations. We have stayed at a few in the past and were pleased. On this trip we decided to price shop for the best value and found the best deal just over the lift bridge at South Pier Inn.... More
