Grand Portage Vacations from $807

Older but clean, friendly staff and quiet.

This is an old property. Our room AC was loud, the carpets looked tired. Small pie shaped rooms with small bathrooms. I thought the overall stay was fine, the cheaper end of room rates in town. Free coffee available in the lobby and we never went to the restaurant. It is right downtown in Duluth and close to the water. Also no daily maid service.

We stayed here just for the sauna. It did not work. There was no thermostat to see what the temperature was. We had to turn it on and wait more than 1 hour for it to get somewhat warm. The breakfast was mediocre. I had a yogurt as nothing else looked good. Our room was nice, so if you just need a room, it was fine.

View was great, place was clean and very nice Great location Only bad part was ac unit was so loud

Had a large family with a suite stay for 4 nights. Disappointed mostly with housekeeping staff as room was never emptied of towels, nor was trash emptied. Over that many days, you can imagine how many towels and waste piles up. It seems that the practice nowadays is to do nothing with the rooms until the guest checks in/out. We talked to the front desk staff on several occasions. Usually to request more towels since they were never taken out of the room nor restocked. The one younger gentleman at the desk in the evening mentioned that he would put us down for a "freshen up" the next day (probably our 2nd into 3rd day of the stay). There never was a freshen up and trash was never taken out. It is disappointing to pay so much at a place like this and not get essential services during the visit. The pool was also either low stocked on towels or none whatsoever (which meant asking for more almost every night). These are easy fixes but the staff has to be retrained to think and operate this way. Obviously if we stay somewhere this long, towels and garbage need to be attended to. No brainer but apparently it doesn't work that way here. Stayed at this La Quinta several times. This was the worst by far.
