If you want to visit the charms of the North Shore without the unknowns of renting a cabin, the Sheraton Duluth Hotel is exactly what you are looking for. You still get a cozy feel but you get the added convenience of a free parking garage and comfortable lodging.
This hotel has a nicely redone workout room. It is walking distance from Fitgers and there is a cute Irish pub across the street. If you have kids, there is a small pool next to the fitness center and it has a tiny hot tub too. If you want to go visit the Aerial Lift Bridge and the free Maritime Museum in Canal Park, the dive is super short. Don't forget to drive across the Aerial Lift Bridge and go all the way down Park Point to the tiny Sky Harbor Airport at the end. There you can park your car and walk over the dunes to the shores of Lake Superior.
I travel for business, so I was able to get an upgrade to a suite which was FABULOUS. Room 616 is a great suite with perfect views of Lake Superior from both rooms, a jacuzzi tub, and an electric fireplace. This would be a great place for a romantic weekend getaway, or for a comfortable room for a family of four.
This hotel is the perfect place to stay snug inside all day or to use as a home base to explore Duluth. The two BEST places to go eat are the Duluth Grill and Scenic Cafe. The Scenic Cafe is about 15 miles up the North Shore. It is a lovely drive and the food is fantastic.
Remember that Duluth is a great city to visit in ANY season, even Winter.
