Everything was perfect! The suites are very roomy and clean. The in-room spa was very relaxing and enjoyable for us both. The curly maple furniture was very nice too. We were going to do some internet work, but the view was just too captivating. To top off the evening, a small sailboat crewed by a skillful couple practice tacking and... more

My husband and I stayed 1 night to celebrate our anniversary and I managed to leave behind the gold earrings my husband gave me on our wedding day! I called to ask if they had been found on the bedside table, but they were not there. The staff took my word that I had left them and did not stop... more

We have stayed at the South Pier Inn three times this year and each time was outstanding. The location of the hotel and the views from our room of the Aerial Lift Bridge and the 1000 foot vessels that passed by were incredible. The hotel is very clean and cozy and the staff is extremely accommodating. They offer a delightful... more

We stayed in a jacuzzi room on the first floor facing the St. Louis Bay . It was the perfect place to relax after a harried month. Great location. It was right next to the Aerial Lift Bridge and the Canal Park Business District with terrific restaurants and shops. It was on one end of Park Point neighborhood which is... more

The location of the South Pier Inn couldn't be finer! Situated right underneath the Aerial lift bridge,with views of the canal and harbor as well as downtown Duluth. However that was the end of what should have been a wonderful stay. Shortly after arrival in our room a deluge of water poured from the light fixture above the in room... more

I travel for business all over the US. When I get to Duluth I always enjoy the South Pier Inn. They've got the formula just right: great rooms, comfortable beds, a view that lives up to the expectation, scrupulously clean & well maintained facilties, and simple elegant decor that doesn't detract from the great setting. I've returned many times, including... more

A unique place to stay. Enjoyed visiting with the owners who are knowledgeable about the history of the island of Park Point, the lift bridge and off the beaten track places to see. more

My husband and I have been going to the South Pier Inn for the last 3 years. We went on a tour when they were having an open house to see what they were like and have never stayed any place else since. The rooms are clean, worker' s are friendly, and the front desk staff is willing to help... more

This place should be shut down for the way they treated us.  We brought our 5 pound adorable Yorkie without reading the pet policy.  They charged us $100 for a pet violation policy and WOULD NOT let us stay in the hotel with our little dog.  So, they committed credit card fraud by charging our card $800 and not rendering... more

Management response from
SouthPierInn, General Manager

We love animals. Unfortunately, some of our guests are allergic to pet dander. If one of our guests stayed in a room that had had even a cute little Yorkie in it, they could have an adverse physical reaction that could ruin their stay with us. We learned that there was a dog in this guest's room when another guest...

The family owners of the South Pier Inn have thought of everything to make each visit a special memory. The Jacuzzi, cozy fireplace, contemporary decor, complimentary continental breakfast and helpful staff are amenities one does not find at every hotel or inn, no matter what the price. The views of the harbor , Aerial lift bridge and skyline of Duluth... more
