Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Duluth Waterfront

Apr 7th, 2024

Great experience at this hotel! The location is great - too bad it's not on Lake Superior instead of the bay, but the views of the bay, the aerial lift bridge & the city of Duluth at night are lovely! (My room was on the top floor of this three-story hotel and on the west side of the building.) The hotel is very clean and modern. My king room was spacious with a mini 'fridge, microwave, two large screen tvs, a long desk, and couch in a "lounge area" of the room. The bed was very comfortable with 4 pillows and a cozy down comforter. Storage included a four drawer bureau and a narrow closet. The bathroom was modern with a nice vanity & and a large glass-doored shower with provided shampoo, conditioner & body wash conveniently mounted on the shower wall in (approximately) 16 ounce size bottles. (The lighting at the vanity could be brighter, and a heat lamp and exhaust fan would be nice to have in the bathroom.) My sink was slow to drain, so I reported it to the front desk. I reported it at noon, and by 5 pm when I returned to the room, a professional note on the bath vanity indicated that the drain issue had been attended to and included the name of the maintenance employee. (I've never had such prompt & professional service at a hotel before!) The hotel offers a gym and pool which are both smaller but nice bonuses! The pool area was clean, offered nice towels & the water had a nice temperature to enjoy playing with the kids. There is no jacuzzi on the premises, however, which doesn't matter to me. The first floor lobby is very welcoming with several areas to relax, enjoy complementary coffee, teas, infused water, and a shop to purchase sodas, snacks, and souvenirs. The hotel offers breakfast daily with a very nice selection, including dine in or takeaway frittatas, cereal, bagels, juice, etc. (Great for a business traveler to grab & go.) The weekend breakfast is more dine-in oriented, and the seating can accommodate many guests comfortably. There are plenty of nice choices of breakfast foods offered, sure to please every guest. The front desk, housekeeping, and maintenance staff were very pleasant and helpful. No matter my needs, the staff was friendly & accommodating. *great experience- highly recommend * Rooms: Clean, modern, good size, nice views. Nearby activities: Driving distance to Canal Park or walkable for ambitious in warmer months. One can exercise (walk, run, bicycle) along Canal Park Drive as it runs West for 10 blocks to the lift bridge or East to the end of the Point. Safety: Well lit, ample parking lot. Safe area of the city. It is in the bay so supervise children in the parking lot!

Convenient location with amazing views from most of the rooms. A quick walk over the historic bridge, and you are in the lovely waterfront district. Free, easy parking and a decent continental breakfast. You don't have to look far to see some of the best sunrises/ sunsets in the area.

Overall a wonderful hotel and room with great views, however we were there at the same time as a hockey tournament. Kids were running the halls screaming late into the night and super disrespectful in general. What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend away from our kids left us exhausted.
