Great place to stay!
Perfect place to stay! Very clean and updated older property. Bed was comfortable . Friendly and helpful staff. We took advantage of the free zoo pass and use of the bikes which was a nice perk. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent Park at your room door motel.
Lovely well equipped room with a very comfortable bed, pillows etc. This is a park at your room door motel which I prefer. No long hallways. Excellent shower, air conditioning, nice large freezer refrigerator, excellent TV. Also a rear door to a lovely patio with grill available. Quiet location.

A little home away from home. Nice folks. Is it the fanciest hotel ever? No. Is it home-y, comfy and feels like you're staying at a good friends place? Absolutely.

Staff was welcoming when we checked in. I reported the first day that the air conditioner was broken and it was 77°F and miserable. It was over 89°F outside. When we returned from our day activities it was still hot. We did not sleep the first night due to it being so hot. I called the next day to complain. The owner was gone but the front desk guy came to look at the air conditioner. He was very nice and said he would call the owner to see what they could do about it. I didn’t hear back from either one of them. I waited the last day outside the office for 40 minutes. The office hours stated they opened at 8am. No one showed up until 8:45pm. We were just pulling out because we couldn’t wait any longer. The air conditioner started to work the day we left. It was two hot and restless nights for myself, my mom and 9 year old son. The property was unique. But it was unfortunate that we were so miserable during our stay.

We stayed three nights. The rooms are quiet and very clean. They offer free firewood if you would like to have a bonfire out back. They offer free charcoal for the grills they have outback under a grill cover. If you would like to go to the zoo they also offer free passes for that. I would recommend this place, unless you are someone who needs a pool and the fancy hotel name. We will stay here again when we are back in Duluth. We also enjoyed the deck off our room. It was great for sitting outside in the evening and for letting our dogs out for their bathroom breaks.

From the start, a negative experience. An unlisted pet fee, an owner attitude about the fee... I decided to stay nonetheless. A freezer that ruined my food overnight was enough. People shouldn't have to compromise quality for a "dog friendly" hotel.

Excellent value, nice little motel. Full size fridge, microwave, coffee pot in the room. Only minor issue was that previous guest’s dirty clothes had been left behind, squeezed behind the bathroom door. Towels were ten times nicer than the fancy chain hotel we were in the night before. Clean carpets, spotless bathroom, huge TV, even a space heater and small lunch table included. Top notch for an older motel.

This property really lived up to its website and reviews. Yes, it is an older motel but Jeff has done a great job of refreshing everything. We LOVED the sparkling clean full size frig, the clean grills with all tools and the fire pits. The charcoal is free as is the firewood. If you are exploring the Duluth area, stay here. Clean, clean, clean and quiet!Also, the Tappa Keg was great! Food so so but prices cheaper than fast food and the staff are wonderful. Easy walk from the motel and $3 Coors Light drafts!

Really simple and nice motel. We loved our stay here it was very affordable, the staff let us check in early around 3 PM, and the room was spotless. I'll be honest the place may look a little dated when you pull up, but the rooms have been redone and they have everything you need for an easy stay. There are also hiking trails that are walkable from the hotel and they have a very nice picnic area. Very affordable, nice stay.

The Willard Munger Inn was a wonderful place to stay. It had a trail right behind the Inn to walk and see wildlife. The Zoo is across the street. During our stay, a black bear came into the parking lot, tried to cross the street and then disappeared back into the woods. It was amazing! We will definitely be back.

We have stayed with them twice now, and I would still very highly recommend it! Friendly and efficient staff, beautiful rooms and location, and within 10-15 minutes of most tourist spots in the area! Plus, you get free entry into the zoo which is only a couple minutes away! We plan to keep coming back here for years to come.
