Lift Bridge Lodge was amazing. The hotel is gorgeous and the rooms are superb. The breakfast was top notch and the best we have ever had at a hotel. We came to watch freighters and the location didn't disappoint. I would highly recommend a lakeview room. We were able to watch from our room or were super close if we wanted to go to pier. Would highly recommend Lift Bridge Lodge and we will be coming back.

Location is perfect but they need to have fire pit outside to warm up in the evenings. Also, windows doesnt have curtains to cover them during night. City lights make room light and hard to sleep, specially in the morning when sun is rising.

I opted for a jetted tub/fireplace suite with a balcony, described as having a bridge view, but with all the trees i couldnt see much of the bridge (or the canal) at all. There was an issue w the jetted tub the first night. Lastly, the breakfast was only so-so. The grounds are lovely, but all in all, not worth the price.

This was a great location and clean. I didn’t give a 5 star as their pool desperately needs an upgrade and the walls were quite thin. We were kept awake until 1am listening to our neighbors footsteps.

You can’t beat this location with the bridge right outside your door. It is very walkable. Clean rooms and common spaces. Breakfast was above average for this type of hotel. It’s a great option for a tourist in Duluth. I had to resist the urge to rate lower because we had a very unpleasant experience with them before we even checked it. The morning before we left, I called to book a roll away crib. I was told our reservation wasn’t in their system. They said all they had left for us was a basic king bed room, not the suite we booked and that we would have to change rooms mid stay to a basic queen room. I dealt with multiple staff members on two different shifts saying the same thing. After spending all day refreshing for last minute cancellations, I was able to book the suite I originally wanted but for $400 more. When I called to confirm that reservation, they said I had 2 of those suites booked. So, my original reservation wasn’t lost, it was in their system all along. This experience ruined my day before we left, forcing me to waste hours calling hotels and looking online for any Canal Park options that fit our needs as a family traveling with 2 under 2. They didn’t offer us any compensation for the trouble and even tried to make us pay the $400 higher rate until I called them out on it. Horrible experience and I’m still shocked they didn’t offer even so much as a coupon as an apology.
