Clean room, nice staff, easy parking and decent location. I left off one bone because they don't allow dogs to stay in the room unattended. I'm certain this is because too many people have ill-behaved little mutts who can't stop barking (looking at you, the same people who have fake "service animal" vests). But I'd much rather see an automatic add-on fee if anyone in the hotel complains that your furball won't stop making noise than a blanket ban on leaving fido in the room. The breakfast is terrific too. Lots of options to satisfy the whole family.

This was probably our best dog hotel experience. I was sick of staying at Motel 6 and wanted a nice place in Duluth. Yeah, they charge $75 for the dog, but at least you feel like you get something for it. Huckleberry got a great greeting, plus a cool dog bed, free treats, a toy and had a blast. It's not hard to find a grassy spot nearby to walk him and there's even a cool pet store in the hotel. On the plus side, there's no charge for valet parking - which sort of makes up for the pet fee. Our room was clean, nice and had a great view of the lake. The brew house restaurant is a good place to eat and drink.
