“The "Big Lake" is Right There!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

My parents took us to visit Lake Superior when I was a child. When my wife and I moved back to Minnesota with our daughter, the "big lake" became a vacation destination for us. Our children are now grown and they go there with their families. Comfort Suites of Canal Park is the treat we give ourselves when we visit Duluth. The kids and their kids camp, but we get a room with a view of the big lake. We reserve early enough so we get a balcony from which to watch the ships come and go. For us, this is one of the nicest places we stay. The rooms are spacious, the beds very comfortable with more pillows than we can use. There is a sitting area which leads to the balcony. The breakfast provided is tasty and nourishing with some nice touches. The rooms are always very clean, the staff is friendly and accomodating and we love it. We have been staying here for a number of years and we plan to go back again and again!

Room Tip: We like the rooms that have a balcony facing the lake.

“Perfect Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

We stayed at the Comfort Suites Canal Park from 1/31/2013 to 2/2/2013. We chose this hotel because of its close proximity to the DECC. The rooms were large, clean and modern. We were in a main floor room and still very quiet. Enjoyed the complimentary breakfast-the staff was friendly and helpful. Plenty of restaraunt choices close by which was important during a couple of -20 days! I would recommend this hotel and would stay there in the future.

Room Tip: If you plan to walk for restaraunts or the DECC, ask for a room near the main entrance.

“Good...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

This is one of those head rests you can find all over the U S of A. It is clean tidy smiling slightly worn and effective. The food is mass produced, the customer many but there are some real homely touches such as both firm and soft pillows on the beds, and shipping reports for those who like seeing the monster iron ore ships enter the Harbour just in front of the hotel, as you would expect there is wifi which is a bit variable in strength, the TV lacked all the channels. Plenty of stowage in the bed rooms would be a good base for a North Shore Holiday with a shops and facilities around including the famous lifting bridge. An excellent average place

Room Tip: Ask for East or lake side of hotel.

Thank you so much for the nice comment. We just wanted to let you know that we are under renovation! Our bathrooms are being updated with new granite and tile. We have also replaced our furniture with new sofa sleepers, desks, and ergo chairs. Our staff is excited about these changes and we invite you back to experience our updated look.

Our food is cooked in big batches so that we can timely accomodate between 350 to 400 guests in our breakfast room during our busiest days. Our breakfast manager, Becky, has worked extremely hard with our vendors to get the best tasting eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. for our guests. You can't miss her, she's the one with the huge smile in the mornings. If you have a request, please let her know, she will work to accomodate your breakfast needs.

We hope that our guest service will set us apart from the other hotels in Canal Park.

“Great Place on a Great Lake”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

I had points to use by the end of the year, and needed a "mini" vacation. The property doesn't take pets, so as pet owners we can't enjoy this for an extended stay. The check in was fast and friendly, and our request was for a Lake View with a balcony. The desk staff recommended 3rd floor for a better view, and she was right. Very clean (even saw housekeeping cleaning the tops of the vending machines). I stay in hotels approximately 50-60 nights per year (business and pleasure). This was by far one of the best experiences. Excellent hot breakfast selection, 2 hot tubs and swimming pool. Because it was a Sunday in December, we weren't "bothered" by crowds of "Marauding" children (much noisier than pets :0) They had checked out that morning!!!! We enjoyed the Bentleyville light display, and it was COLD (Duluth in December)...The Lake Walk is easily accessible from the dining area, and all Canal Park shops are a short walk away. Will definitely return when it's warmer and enjoy the walking without bundling up. Beds were comfy, room was very well maintained... on a scale of 1-5, it's A #6!!

Room Tip: The higher floor rooms offer a better view of the lake.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your recent visit! We definitely appreciate the attention to detail that our housekeeping staff works so hard to maintain, and I'm glad that you were able to relax for a few nights with us! Unfortunately we don't take pets at this time, though the majority of our staff is pet owners themselves and would be happy to recommend a local kennel company to take care of your fury friend while you stay with us. Please let me know if I can ever be of assistance in helping with travel plans. We hope to welcome you back to our hotel soon!

“Excellent location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012 via mobile

We had a very nice night here recently. The location is one of the best things about the Comfort Suites. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance. We had a room with a lovely view of the lake. The front desk was friendly and had several suggestions when we asked about a restaurant for dinner. The room was very clean, the decor is updated. We had a room with two queen beds, and it was good-sized for two of us, but not overly large. It was nice to have a sitting area. The complementary breakfast looked good, although we didn't have time to eat that morning. I would definitely stay here again.
