Pier B Resort is a fairly new convention and vacation hotel on Duluth's waterfront. My wife and I stayed here overnight and also ate at Silo's Restaurant (reviewed separately).
Great experience from beginning to end. Staff at check in, check out, and in between were all effusively friendly. The property is a terrific location, with all rooms facing something scenic or at least of interest. Everything indoors and out is well-maintained. Might be the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in.
Our room was the cheapest one they offer, a king room facing away from the waterfront. Our view was of the retired Coast Card cutter Sundew, with some of the Duluth skyline in the background. 5 stars for interior decorating. Everything, from the bed, the furniture, the wallpaper, and bathroom layout were perfect. And like every other area of the property, super clean. Our room also smelled very nice, though I couldn't tell you what it was.
Amenities here are complete. I liked the hot tub, and the shuttle service into town. The yurt out back was weird, but fun to sit in.
The location was a major perk for us. Just a mile stroll down the harborfront to the attractions of Lake Avenue, with the Minnesota Aquarium along the way. The DECC building, also on the waterfront, is connected to downtown Duluth via enclosed skywalk.
Rooms can be a bit pricey on weekends, and for special events, but definitely a worthy splurge. I recommend staying here on a weekday, and/or during the off-season (as we did), when everything is nice and quiet, and rooms are reasonable.
