AmericInn by Wyndham Cloquet  

Tucked on Route 33 just north of I-35 in Cloquet, this family-friendly hotel puts you minutes from Duluth International Airport and the Lake Superior shore. Outdoor lovers can hit Jay Cooke State Park, Spirit Mountain and the Willard Munger Trail nearby. Downtown Duluth attractions like the Great Lakes Aquarium and Lake Superior Zoo are an easy drive, and Black Bear Casino sits a short ride away.

Clean, no-fuss rooms with a modern vibe — think flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, microwaves, mini-fridges, coffee makers, desks and hair dryers. Non-smoking rooms keep the air fresh and most rooms come with cable entertainment. Forty-seven rooms make this a cozy, practical base for both business trips and outdoor escapes.

Take a dip in the indoor pool, unwind in the hot tub or sweat it out in the sauna. Free WiFi and complimentary self parking keep things easy. The hotel sits amid biking, hiking, horseback riding, skiing and whitewater rafting options — perfect for active getaways.

A business center and 24-hour front desk help keep work on track, and complimentary WiFi throughout the property keeps you connected.

Start each morning with a complimentary homestyle breakfast — waffles, eggs and coffee served daily. For casual local flavor, nearby options include the classic Gordy's Hi Hat Drive-Inn.
